http://members.surfeu.at/mscheidl/Kurzbuch.zip (~464 KByte)

It contains ~20.000 positions with variants exactly 6 plies deep (under very
rare conditions, more than 6 plies can be played from that book due to
transpositions). I generated it from a large database of human master games.
Some move weights are slightly edited, but not engine specific. I tried to
achieve that neither very popular nor very unusual moves are choosen too often.

The main purpose of that small book is to serve as an alternative to common
opening position databases, in "book neutral" engine matches. My recommendation
is to use the "normal" F4 book options. It's amazing to see when engines follow
theory or master's moves by their own calculation from the fourth move on, up to
the 15th move... sometimes :o)
