But this doesn't explain it clearly. The Nunn test is constructed so that the
programs/players start at these positions WITHOUT further use of opening books
so it should make no difference if you "use" mentor or cm6k.obk because they
should be disabled. The reason for this discrepancy CAN be that they were not
disabled.
