It is (old) book. Steinitz smashed Serafino twice with 8 .. h5 in 1862, this
move was last played at senior level in 1999 between two Malayans rated 2400+. I
have seven games in my database with this position, the score in OTB play after
h5 is 0-7!
What is more, in your game against Moonshot, AmazingGrace's first move out of
book was 13 ... Nf3+.
Conclusion: Moonshot needs a new book.
