   But that is another story! If ONLY ONE move is in book for a given position,
it has no choice but to play it. But up to there, it must be a move that won the
game. Do you think it should start "thinking" when only ONE game is listed for
the only move given or for all the available move? That would be an interesting
idea. Personnally, I think that Fritz should ADD the first move played by its
opponent that is not in its book and also should start thinking if the results
obtained by itself when playing all the available moves (or the unique move)
weren't good. Of course, not based on blitz games, but on games of 1 hour/mate
AT LEAST, or based on a certain minimum depth reached. It could also add its own
reply in the book.
