I don't think he meant the book Nunn's Chess Openings, but rather a series of
standard non-losing (as far as is known) opening positions to be used in
comp-comp matches. Nunn made a couple of series of positions so that the
programs could be properly tested without their opening books, with play
starting from these positions instead.
