Hi Mel,
  I`am going by this move order, so is this now Correct? 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 ---
3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.Nxc6 bxc6 7.e5 Nd5 8.Ne4 f5(book)other book
choices for black on move 8.....are Qc7, Ba6, or c5. Hiarcs7.32 will play Qc7 at
move 8. for black for a majority of times because the "percentage probability
is much greater than the other Book Choices on move 8.

  Getting back to move 8.....f5, you seem to think that this is such a bad
choice compared to the move 8.....Qc7 because on move 9.you play Nd6+ and then
Hiarcs7.32 plays 9.....Bxd6(.22/10 it thought for 3:30) What follows now for
move 10.exd6 0-0(.19/10) 11.c4 Nb6 12.Be3 Ba6 13.b3 f4(=.14/10). So whats so bad
about equality as from the outcome of move 8.....f5!
  I can`t find a major negative from this choice f5 over Qc7. If your not seeing
the move Qc7 on move 8. for black`s choice, then it`s because it beat you in the
f5 line and now it will keep playing this as a result of the Tree Weighting, and
so you need to Re-set the weighting in its Book! So this don`t keep happening as
the result of the book weighting may i suggest to set the Variety of play, the
Influence of learn value, and Learning Strength to the minimum setting. Or
Decrease the learning strength from the maximum to a lower value so that one
game won`t influence the book immediately and leave the other two settings as
their default. I hope this helps!

  Best Regards,
  Terry Ripple
