My Fritz5 Powerbooks ends with move 20,
so  21. fxe5 should be the first move out of the book.
But I don“t think it is.
Maybe another book was used in Paris!

On my P200MMX 43MB hash with deepth 12/39
fxe5 is only the 4.th best move.
Here is the evaluation for the 4 moves

1. Nc2	-0.03
2. Nf3	-0.31
3. Ne2	-0.34
4. fxe5	-0.41
