Bonjour Martin :)

I use a small book made from a GM games collection for all CB commercial
engines, instead of the costumized book, because I think that this would be a
too big advantage for the CB engines... but as I see that amateur engines become
stronger and stronger, I may change my mind for the next edition :)

6.h3 is not as popular as 6.Bf4 in recent GM games, and there was only 2 games
in the book with 6.h3 (in both games Black answered 6...Qc7). Since the minimum
number of games for a move to be played is set to 3, Junior was out of book
after 6.h3, so 6...e5 is not a book move.

I think the answer is yes :)
