Intuitively this sounds wrong.  IE I want book.bin to be comprehensive, in
case my opponent does something I don't expect.  I use books.bin (at previous
WMCCC events not counting this year I had several) to let me choose the
particular opening I want it to play.  IE 1. e4 or 1. d4...  but a big
book.bin lets me handle the bizarre cases that my opponent might go for.
