I many times did tell that the program is left in a position where it does not
have a cleu where to play for when out of book and more moves should be inserted
Remember what I did say about the Junior6 book if Boris only had done this with
the junior7 book the outcome could have been very suprising.
But I think he lost most of the analyses.
