I did not know that opening book help Junior so much.

I knew that fruit performed clearly better than Junior also when own books were
used

see http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?460698

I did not follow the games to check for doubles but I remember matches when
Fruit beated Fritz9 or Shredder9 convincingly when original opening book were
used and the result of the ssdf are surprising.

Maybe Fruit does not like the athlon1200 and it may be interesting to know if it
earns more speed from faster hardware relative to Fritz or Junior or Shredder.
