This is not logical IMO. I (myself) know some opening lines way beyond move 14. Particularly, I remember all my games, so I can easily repeat a won game. Why should a program not be allowed to do the same? >The problem would be to determine if an engine is >stealthily using a book after move 14 :-(. > >Matthias. You can't. I can easily add a small nonsensical search for each book move after move 14 where I say my program to only search for the chose book move for 15 or 20 seconds (or 4-5 in a fast game). The user will see the program is searching the book move, and will see a PV, so there's no way to determine whether it's a book move or not. José C.
