That is simple to explain.  Bob, for quite some time , has built his books on
top GM games and then does a little guiding in the opening and let the learning
take over.  These books were cleaned of any learning when sent to Tony.
Somebody has already pointed out to the GM game it follows - so these are not
stolen from any chess program.  Rather , both books are perhaps based on the
same GM game.
