Instead of trying to control what may and what may not get put into an opening book, why don't you just shift the whole issue onto the real problem, namely an apparent inability of the target program/programmer to deal with the problem ? if program abc stands still in its opening book, while program xyz trains, then sure xyz gets some points. but if both train before release against the previous version of their target opponents, then nobody gets an advantage. all the programmers have banks of autoplayers and book experts, let them train beforehand; then you can stop trying to attack certain teams with barrages of hostile propaganda. put simply this whole bandwidth consuming exercise is Rebel good, Mchess bad. As in moral Rebel doesn't agree with book cooking or training, therefore good; Mchess does, therefore bad; and, to boot, bad Mchess gets an advantage. Its an Animal Farm argument. Based on some supposed false morality. Persoanlly, I look beyond it, to just what is is that is causing certain individuals (and its the same ones as last time) to be attacking Mchess and its programming team. Chris Whittington
