May I ask you to give your impression on the book topic in games between human players and comps? For me the problematic question is not just the book, it is more the book with special tunings against those moves or lines the engine would play if not carefully guided by the book doctor. For me that is the same as if I had a GM behind me who whispered in my ears during a game of chess OTB. Sometimes he helps me with the right move I have forgotten but then more important he prevents me of playing promising moves that are really bad, what I couldn't see. So, where is the difference between me and a computer? Why he's allowed what I am forbidden? I ask you before I answer the question of Dr. Hyatt, who asked me to quote from the FIDE rules.
