There are different results and impressions so far, of which book is better.

I *may* be (I can't tell) that there is a danger of wrong estimation of the
Hiarcs 8 engine strength, if tested with that tournament book instead of the CD
book. - Or vice versa...

Anyway, it seems that the book "influence" will be an issue with Hiarcs 8 more
than with other programs. So I think, SSDF shouldn't make an "easy" decision and
use that tournament book just because of the recommendation.

SSDF could for example play 50% of the games with CD book, and 50% with the
tournament book against the same opponents (and offer a result comparison), as a
compromise.
