The problem is many engines are designed to play with their opening books
No one test a Shredder against a Junior or a Fritz with a 5-6 move opening book
At least that is so in my opinion
When an engine plays in WCC it is not limited to a 5-6 move book
When the sdss test a computer they do not limit to a 5-6 move book
So When I test I test with the book the engine comes with
If the oponnent does not have a book or a very small one I try to provide one
that has a good reputation
In this case I used the deep Fritz 8 book. Fruit played very well with that
book in 100 games against Shreder and Fritz bilbao
While a good book I suspect like other books it has some bad lines
In this particular case I had no time to examine the position
however I am open to suggestions for a book for Toga
