Actually, I can see both issues here, and you have to
give the orignal author(s) of the books some credit here.
Completely understandable.


IMHO, a good(?) solution to this problem is to have all
programs use no opening book at all, having them rely
solely on pruning techniques and evaluation heuristics :^).
Now THAT would be an interesting tournament!!! :^).
I wonder if anyone has actually run a tournament like
this before? (Shrug.)

Hmmm. I wonder how many programmers have actually written
their programs to dive out of the book early, knowing that
a particular program will eventually wind up in time trouble
or a bad position or something? :^) :^). Could we see 1. A3!
in the not-to-distant future?? :^):^)
