Probably still in book, but the book is buggy.  In a case like this, I would go
with the +191 score, especially against a computer.  It might be a tough
decision against a GM as to what to play.  Against a computer, its dxc3 in a
heartbeat.  (This position was analyzed to 3-4 billion nodes in C.A.P.)
