Subject: To build a book or not?

Author: Russell Reagan

Date: 02:37:46 07/16/02

One question came to mind when hearing all of the opening book talk. Gian-Carlo
said that he made his own opening book for Sjeng, and it backfired a few times
at WCCC.

For myself, I have some chess knowledge, but I'm no better than average. For
someone like me, would I be better off attempting to make my own book from
studying MCO and other opening manuals, or to just add in some special opening
code to help it play better in the opening?

I have a feeling that I would probably hinder my engine more than help it, but
maybe I don't realize how badly engines play the opening without their books
when facing top competition. Please advise.

Thanks,
Russell
