Yeah, you change any of the ChessBase .ctg opening books to make any engine
using them to always play certain lines and always avoid certain lines.  But a
typical opening book has about 2.5 to 3.5 million positions, and powerbooks
about 7.5 million positions.  If there are bad lines in there you want to
delete, it will takes months and months or years to find them all.  It's better
to use an engine's own native book which has already been professionally edited
by a GM (or team of GM's) expending thousands and thousands of man-hours of work
then to try and take the unedited powerbooks and try to do this yourself.
