They are plenty "slightly better position after the opening" lines you can give
to many engines and if that position doesn't match its playing style, it does
not provide that engine with a useable "successful" advantage in the end.

Junior and Chess Tiger are two good examples of opening books tuned nicely to
the engine's play.
