Saying that book is not important is not the same as to say that book is worth 0
elo today.

I think that programmers should care about the engine and caring about book is
not important for me.

I believe that there is a lot to improve without hiring people to write a book
for me.
I believe that even at the level of Yace there are a lot of things to improve in
the engine.

I prefer to see the positions in the opening that programs blunder in order to
decide how to fix the engine and not to give some book writer to write a book to
hide the problems.
