If I understood it correctly it is a difference relative to CEGT conditions when engines do not play moves like 1.e4 based on calculation but get some moves before they are out of book. Of course with no learning repeating games from the opening position against the same opponent may be very boring because you can expect to see the same game again and again but in graham's tournament it is no problem because 2 engines do not play twice with the same colour based on my understanding.
