Diep has not fritz8 book and chessbase learning.
Do you think that it cannopt get above 2200 for that reason?

If your answer is negative then I do not understand why you assume that another
programmer cannot do what you can do.

No
It is using another book of chessbase and not fritz8.ctg

It is also not Bob's choice and Ruffian does not use a book of chessbase in the
ssdf and it is clearly above 2200.

I am sure that even movei can get above 2200 in the ssdf without chessbase
learning and movei is weaker than Crafty.
