I have staged some tournaments on my computers at home at time controls of averaging as high as 30 minutes per move, trying to test the deep analysis capabilities of the stronger programs. However, one thing I have never been satisfied with is the opening books I've used. To create an equal environment where the opening book is not a factor in a programs strength, the same book should be used for all programs. However, any one commercial book will give an unfair advantage to the program for which it was developed. Further, many books have bad lines which can lose the game for an unlucky engine. Are there any recommendations as to which is the best opening book for universal use in a tournament?
