What programs are you referring to? >As there are some programs in the list running under Fritz what >will you do: > >- let them play all with the same book >- assign each program randomly one of the books mentioned above The WinBoard programs don't have to be run under a CB interface due to a utility (wbengine) made by Rémi Coulom, which Thorsten is familiar with. But there's a problem with quality books comparable to the commercial standard, which is also seen at various championships. The best solution is to allow each engine to use its standard book (or ask the author for a special book), which can be achieved whether they're commercial or amateur. Various autoplay tools should make that possible AFAIK. Naturally, some programs will suffer more than others due to the book question, but that is inevitable even with a CB book. Mogens.
