Subject: Question from a novice....

A question from a Novice here, so please bear with me.
If, a Chess Program is "out of book", then the static weights given to the
program in the quiescent position determines the evaluation?
This may vary from program to program right?
Which is why different programs often disagree even in the PV & secondary line?
What comes to mind is the Urusov Opening, where very few games have been played.
Statistically, the White wins are not credible; for example, Steinitz & lasker
both fell into an Opening trap or combination, so if the program picks a move
statistically, it would not be the best.
I'm just trying to understand more about how the program works when on it's own
so to speak.
Any info would be helpful,
Thank You,
CY
