It does make sense in Fritz.  They use the same learning algorithm I use in
Crafty, which means they 'scale' the learning results based on the search depth.
Nothing wrong with learning from blitz games, just so you can tell the
difference between blitz and standard somehow.

However, playing with 'fritz book' doesn't make a lot of sense, if a program
has its own book.  Why force them to follow lines that someone thinks is good
for fritz?
