the opening book of the chess programs try to fix the, more or less, poor
understanding of the programs about the opening.Trust in good players not in the
analysis of the computers in openings and in positional stuff.
The evaluation of positions in chess programs are the part of code that
determine how good is a positions giving to them an amount of points, and is
written by a programmer, and it is never good enough and not even close to the
apreciation that can be done by the programer himself in a particular position.

Anyway here is a very short search of my little program :)
