	I do not understand your last sentence, it is not clear if the last 'no' is
negating the preceding words. Anyway I will give my opinion on this topic.
	Matches without opening book are useful and interesting and there is nothing
wrong with them, but they do not reflect playing strength.
	To measure playing strength test games must be played with the default opening
book for each program.
