I am almost 100% certain that Stockfish, Berserk and Rubichess can still hold the lead by the same percentage if you restrict the LowDraw1000.cgb book to 4 moves depth, whereas, the other engines opening Book are restricted deeper to a 8 moves Depth

I am going to hold the same Tournament match but only with the first 6 engines which are on top listed here, I will restrict the LowDraw1000.cgb book to 4 moves depth for Stockfish, Berserk and Rubichess, whereas, the other engines opening Book are restricted deeper to a 8 moves Depth . What is your prediction
