i don't think so: http://sjeng.sourceforge.net/ftp/maastricht/day3/DCP_0010.JPG
shows this game, with 6 minutes on junior's clock and the king already out on
d2. i don't think junior would have played moves 9,10,11,12 in only 6 minutes.
at least i guess it shouldnt play that fast...
but obviously it was out of book in this position because it wouldnt have used 6
minutes if in book.
