They do not have anything called "ChessLib opening book for Chessbase", nor anything nearly as big as 4GB. Someone could have compiled the ChessLib database of some 3 million games into an opening book that big, but it didn't come from ChessLib. It's not practical to provide opening books that big for download. What you should do is get the database, then compile the opening book from it. Then you can make it whatever size your drive will allow. Tip: Sometimes it's useful to divide a big database into two parts and compile two opening books. That goes faster. Then one book can be imported into the other. WP
