Just an email to point out that I think that a book is necessary. Even pros (and programs) can make mistakes in 7x7.
The version with opening book itself is not optimal (one of our 20 games against pros contained a mistake, seemingly), and we have been lucky that the pro did not find the solution (strong players did find, by a posteriori analysis). And the version with book is much stronger than the version without book. A detailed report will follow.
