You have to unload (close) the .CTG book currently used by the Fritz GUI (right-click in the book display, "Close Book File". Then, if you have an UCI engine loaded which has it's own book and start a new game, it should still move immediatly at the beginning, which proves that it uses it's own book. In *engine matches* and -tournaments, you can configure UCI engines with "no book" in the match setup dialogue to have UCI engines use their own book. If the "no book" option is overrided by a CTG book during that setup (sometimes I wasn't able to remove that for a single engine, becaus you can't load "nothing"), it can be achieved by closing and editing the .TRN file manually. Remove the CTG book file name from the "default book" line. At least that's how I could solve that problem recently. The .TRN files are located by default in the ../CompBase/ directory AFAIK. Something which I couldn't figure out yet is, what happens if you don't close the .CTG book. What "mixture" between the books is used then? Maybe the .CTG book is used first, and then the engine's book if moves are available... (?). This is not clear to me. I didn't make efforts to experiment. Maybe someone knows more about that? (Of course, normally you should care for "one book" configurations.) Regards, M.Scheidl
