Engines are developed by humans and it was a decision of the programmer to play book moves in 0 seconds. There is no rule in chess that an engine has to play moves in 0 seconds only because they are part of the book. When I work on implementing a real book for movei I do not plan to tell it to play moves in 0 seconds in many cases. I think that a book should include number of nodes for every position in the book when the idea is that if you expect to be able to search more nodes then you do not trust the book and search. The idea is that in blitz you can expect more book moves to be better than the moves that the engine can find by itself so it make sense to play more moves in 0 seconds. Uri
