all authors of opening books as well as the respective engine programmers claim that the ob is part and parcel of the chess package and the engine can only function at its best if it uses its own optimised opening books; this has been shouted from the rooftops for years (if one belives this theory then then the KING SKR is at a significant disadvantage as it is using a non optimised opening; furthermore one that is relatively old;) now the same programmers who for years have claimed the above are stating the exact opposite that for some reason the kingSKR will get an advantage if it uses another engines opening books which in fact is non optimised for the KING!! (as far as i know the general.ctg is a non-optimised powerbook which is a general book not optimised for a particular engine so it should be allowed to be used with the king any way) let us therefore test both engines with the same opening books; either another engines borrowed opening book (which will be optimised for neither engine such as the fritz.ctg when shredder plays theKing) or something like draw.ctg or the lunsen book or a power book) this will ensure a level playing field and equal disadvantages for both engines that is the only equiatble solution that i can think of given the contraints in this situation
