For the umpteenth time, 9.Nd6+ is NOT in Hiarcs' opening book on the CD -- the
ONLY move in the book at this point is 9.exf6 with a 100% probability listing;
ergo...


>...Bxd6 (and here the info screen says Bxd6 no highlighted in red)

...this move's presence in the info screen showing book moves (whether
highlighted in red or not) proves that some alteration hs been made to the
opening book, either intentionally or accidentally. This line is NOT in the
opening book that came with the program.

Got it now?
