It would be much preferable to use CM9000's book, and (if it has any, though AFAIK it doesn't, CM9000's learning). This would be possible if either a) the CM9000 engine was responsible for all move selection, including move selection from its book, or b) both contestants made a protocol public that could be used for a tournament/match manager to interface with their GUIs.
