GCP, you were right the first time; the moves that are still in the book were
not played often enough.  This can be changed by hitting the F4 key, "Book
Options", and there will be a box called minimum number of games.  You can set
this to any number, say for example 4, and it will ignore it's book and start
the engine running when there are fewer than four games played with all of the
moves still left in its book.
