Hi

did a quick test against shreder 9

went into book option unchecked use book and tournament book

went into parmeters made sure own book was checked

and bookfile set to book.bin

start 5 min blitz

Fruit played the first 9 moves instantly and did not begin thinking until move 9
and this position

[d]r1bqkb1r/1p3pp1/p1nppn1p/8/3NP1PP/2N1B3/PPP2P2/R2QKBR1 b Qkq h3 0 9
