If you would apply the general rule to openings >books, both Rebel and ChessBase would be in trouble (multiple >Noomen and Kure books) That is my opinion, they should be in trouble for that. If they consider that is ok to share it, then I do not see what is the problem with an amateur buying the book (so, a legal copy), plug it to an interface and to his engine. You either consider a book as part of an engine or not. My opinion is that it is part of the engine, hence, it should be shared in a tournament with _nobody_. However, this will be impossible to enforce, I think. Miguel > >-- >GCP
