Hi Jorge,

as you can see from the notation, Fruit plays from his own opening book and the
first move calculated is 14...e5. The CB-GUI always shows "black (resp. white)
last book move" after the first move if one of the programs does not use a book
in .ctg-format.

Why is it a disadvantage for Fruit to use his own book? During my tests Fruit
2.2 has played 200 games (25' + 8"/20 each against 10 top programs) so far and
had very good results.
Ok, the book is kept rather small (only 1,5 MB) but it is really good. The only
problem can be with long series of games due to book learning as Fruit does not
yet support this.
