Because otherwise the programs will make mistakes due to mostly the horizon
effect.

The problem is that the openings books can include inferior variations so in
that case they can complicate things to the program, but in general they make
the program stronger bringing it to the middle game in a better position or at
least playable.

I would add that by saving clock time they help also indirectly...

A few games can give different results, but on a high number of games this is
what you can find out.

I was forgetting that the commercial books also the variety of variations to
play is important to avoid they always play the same variations/moves.

The openings books are also what links the chess programs to the human players
as they simulate those by playing the same variations and so they allows the
owners to train themself playing those "human" variations. This means that they
can be used as trainers and teachers directly or indirectly.

Maybe 50 years from now chess program they may will not need the openings books
anymore to play the strongest and with variety, but I do not believe this will
happen before.

I would add that it is true that a stronger program may be able to win or not to
loose a game even if getting out of a bad variation, but only if it is enough
strong.

I knew this and I have been facing this situation in the recent match against
Hydra as I realized our buggy program was unable to win a single game due to the
resulted weakening.

If the strenght difference it too high the openings can only help you not to
loose, but it is nearly impossible to win.
