Two distinct groups here which will be fighting their own battles - the
commercials and the freebies. Let's see how the new Shredder 9 goes

My previous tournaments used the powerbook for all engines, which to me provides
a level playing field, but I decided to do something different this time. Own
books or a common book, quite a controversial topic there...


* Fruit 2.0 does not have it's own book, but using a book supplied by Graham,
unknown origin. Should probably have used Powerbook, will keep this under review
