I just thought aslong as computer programs don't have the positional knowledge
For all positions.
It might be smart to first use an normal preferably big book.
Then play many games with this book.
And save all games.
Then look in your database in which openings your programs does best
And make this the mainlines.

(In fact I have done this before,with great sucses.)
Keep on playing many games.
Then you build a database put in all the games of your program
Build a book from it.
Then you look which games where lost by your program and lock these moves.
you even could go further with also giving the positions which where drawn by
your program a lower valeu.
(That's below 50% or that 50% move are seldom played moves.)
The idea I did get because if you have a patser program it is always bad to get
an opening which results in a quick endgame.
For a positional program it is the otherway around it prefers endgames!
And it is a also sort of pre knowledge which has been used.

It also makes it posible if your program is not good in all ellements
opening,midle and  endgame
positional and  tactical play .
it still can get a nice score.
For Chrisophe a special openings book for Tiger15

And a special openings book for Gambit Tiger15
Could be an example

Ps Christophe this one is for free
My Alexander setting are not  the transpose from midle to endgame anymore.
Still the settings are logic.
