I'd likely take the quad 2.8 without the book. Do you think Gary would be afraid to play the Petrov? >Especialy without book but the point is that most openings books are made in such way that you have to count on erors Why would you play for a draw or worse for a loss while you could have played a refutation instead? Also look when the programs start to understand the position well before you stop with inserting moves. A openingsbook should be suposed to be off help not of handicap. On the other hand if you would use a small openings book suprises will acure more often. Leaving Gary unprepared Then again it is more likely it will fall for some tactics which could have been avoided by using the book .
