You agreed, because Diep did not play another opening (lack of randomness), that
both programs would play with books again, and that every opening position would
be given to both programs to compensate for any book advantage (if any).
That's why Thorsten played the 3rd game with books on.
Tiger won it, so that's 2-1 in favor of Tiger.
If you don't agree, what do you propose?
