Yes but don't forget that also the other engines had the remis-book too.
Of cource The King maybe have the same performance again, even if the
other programs have their own books.
Do you think that: in a (stupid?) tournament with 8 CM9000-SKR engines
using 8 different books with 100 rounds, if the winner is an SKR-engine
with book-A, we could say that this book A is the best for CM9000-SKR in
a general tournament with various engines?

No, i think CM9000-SKR is a well-rounded engine that plays good in almost
every position like these on draw book.
