Something's very wrong if this move is really the last book move. There are tens
of thousands of games that have reached this position, so I can't imagine any
reasonable book ending at that point.

But, that doesn't excuse one of Fruit's moves. This is a good test position:

[D]rnb1k2r/pp1p1ppp/1q2pn2/2b1P3/3N4/2N1B3/PPP2PPP/R2QKB1R b KQkq - 0 7

Avoid 7...Ng4.

It takes CM9_R1 on an AMD 2500 forty seconds to switch to 7...Nd5, which should
be a standard book move, I think.
