Hi Uri,

I would say that it is possible, not easy.
And the opponent can later transpose back into book, if book lines are long
enough.

The problem is of course, that they sometimes have no chance to play.
Junior 6 once left book at 3 moves to being checkmated by Fritz 6.
Cases of checkmate while still in book have been reported.

Matthias.
