They all use the general.ctg book as mentioned in the message by Chessfun,
because they are native Chessbase engines. I don't know if they come with their
own book as well, but that shouldn't be necessary. The next couple of
tournaments are autoplayed on two computers with the Fritz and Junior book
respectively AFAIK.

I would have liked to watch the game "live" myself, but my gut feeling told me
that trouble was in the air. There's a lot of political commotion in Denmark
regarding the events of yesterday. Especially since we plan to cohost the
European Championships in 2008.

I hope I find the time and money to visit Belgium and the Netherlands again
during the championships.

That's the price you pay when you shave your head like I do :o). I do it to hide
my balding features.
