It is Tiger's own book, but technically it is more or less identical to the Rebel 10 book, i.e. the Rebel book is taken as a basis and has not yet been fully adapted to Tiger's playing style. Besides, AFAIK factors such as book learning or evaluations of the scores returned by book moves are not (yet) implemented, thus Tiger occasionally gets caught in a bad line (which Rebel probably wouldn't have played actively). In general, the book handling is still a bit "beta", you could say. More or less what you would get if you just imported the Rebel book into a Fritz tree and had Fritz/Junior/Hiarcs/Nimzo/etc. play with it. I'd even go as far as saying that the very small opening book that came with prior Tigers is better (just look how Tiger 11.5 plays in SC 99 with its 250 K book compared to the 11 MB book of 11.8.2). But don't worry, I am sure "Rebel Tiger" will have a book that has been checked "by hand". --- Shep
