This is a good question. I wonder what is best, book or no book? I think it
depends on what we're trying to test. For instance, I'm sure the Chessmaster
tests included different books. My current tests did use the default book from
Hyatt's ftp. Maybe after this current one gets to a certain number of games (100
per engine?) then I'll try it with no books and see how that goes.

This makes me think of other kinds of tests. Maybe Crafties with no book vs.
Crafties with book.

It is a dual.
