You are playing without using it.... What difference would the book make since if a commercial program plays against crafty in a real tournament, crafty will _not_ be using some half-baked book that might not fit its playing style very well? However, I only care about "best" vs "best" myself, others might be interested in some other sort of comparison, but I will never play in a WCCC event without having a reasonable book, so any other kind of match won't give much useful information IMHO...
