You've asked Kurt, but I think I can answer this too on this occasion: He
doesn't use remis.ctg this time, but my 10 plies deep book 5moves.ctg, as
mentioned in his detailed description always:
"Book: 5moves.ctg (write protected) of Michael Scheidl
no book learning, book options=use book, normal"
("normal" is my recommendation, necessary to ensure a reasonable variety)
So, there's no book learning in the current tournament. If you are interested in
details about the 5moves.ctg, there was a description translated to english in
CCC recently (unfortunately I didn't save it); the original presentation was:
