That's an amazing result. I mean, being behind only Fruit 2.2.1 after 320 games,
and playing without an opening book, while all the other engines play with
theirs... Wow.

Nobody doubts the value of an opening book, so imagine where it will stand when
it is using one. Any book, much less a good one.
