No one else bothered.. >Thank yo >WAyne >PS. Just had A thought. I have only installed Rebel Tigers After downloading the book gambit.tbk unzip it into your RebelTigerII directory. In order to use this book open explorer and double click on the file swap.bat. Then start the CP 5 interface, look at the book moves. If as an option move one Lists 1. b3 then the gambit.tbk book is loaded. Although checking book would indicate ct.tbk is loaded this is just the way the swap.bat file works. To change back to the standard book ct.tbk close the program and double click again on swap.bat, start the program again and see no first move 1.b3. In order to use these engine books confirm that engine books is ticked under extra....options....books. You can now with Tiger 14 or Gambit 2.0 also load an extra book by ticking also gui books in extra....options....books. Sarah.
