Junior8 does not have to play with it's opening book. The people who organize the tournament can decide about the rules. >And like Kasparov/Kramnik and everybody else that learn opening lines that suits >to their style.

I expect that in most cases the better players in regular chess are also going to be better also in that case. Uri
