Mine says to play the opening I expect to do best with.  I've played 1. d4
in _many_ tournaments to avoid prepared lines in response to 1. e4.

Mine does not say to wildly speculate since I know that programs are different.
And they will likely handle different openings better depending on the program.

Why does it matter what someone _else_ chooses to play in their book?  Isn't
that beyond your control and/or interest?  Should not you spend more time
worrying about what _you_ are going to play or why _your program_ lost games,
rather than wondering about what books were used by which opponents and why?
