Thanks.

You have contradicted what another poster told me in this thread, and what you
wrote agrees with my own logical conclusion.  I expected there to be
interference, certainly reverting to the ownbook if one got out of the .ctg.  He
claimed otherwise.

and my reply and you can confirm I was already there.  But thanks, anyway!

Your book was not an option for me, you see.

I have no doubt.  Having studied quite some many wins of Fruit's when it had
been using your book, I see you have taken _EXTRAORDINARY_ care to ensure two
things -
* Fruit does not say "O Sh!t!" when it leaves your book.
and IMO as importantly
* Fruit is not led into positional types it thinks it is well off in but which
it does not actually understand.

Congratulations again.  Mr Noomen has reason to tremble a bit, it could be.

The two exclamation marks awarded to the appalling move are bizarre.

Best,
