Don't you think that the other teams have their own book for tourneys like wccc?
Of course they have.
And don't you think that providing these books in a comercial version would give
a (small?) advantage out of hand for the next championships?
Can you imagine that the commercial book also has the target to provide a wide
book so that YOU have fun to play with? E.g. although the King's Indian is no
preferred opening choice for a computer to play black, this opening is still in
several opening books. Guess why.
