of course.
I do not think that the book is very important.
The value of book is probably not more than 100 elo(unless the program with book
use the same line again and again) when programs got better by more than 100
elo.

I did not try no book because I may get only 2 games with no book at specific
time control but I guess that no book may give similiar results to the nunn
match or similiar matches from known positions with no book when the programs
get both sides.
