I have not looked at the games.  But Peter and I discussed this and we chose to
use my wide-open ICC book for these games to avoid giving away anything about
his tournament preparation.

I knew that we would bust one or more openings.  The one thing I forgot is that
I cleverly copied my binary books from my xeon to the opteron.  Doesn't work.
90% of my book was unusable leading to some bizarre opening choices.  I did that
late at night and just forgot that even though the opteron and xeon are both
little-endian, the opteron has a longer struct padding (to 8 bytes rather than 4
bytes) which kills my binary book copy.

Stupid.  Stupid.  Stupid.

I should have remembered.  :(
