Subject: Preparing Shredder 8 for a strong GM

I'm going to be joining the ICC family very soon for computer related accounts,
and I was going to be playing 20-60 minute games only against high rated humans,

computer vs computer is definately not as fun, so to prepare Shredder 8's book,
does this sound insane, or would it do well.

I create a tournament inside the CB8 GUI.

Three engines.
1. Shredder8
2. Shredder8UCI
3. Junior 8

Junior 8 uses its book, and both the shredder engines use their books.
So of all the possible combinations, Shredder at 1 point will be playing, and
learning,  I set the time control to 20 +10 and let them play for a few days.

When that tournament is over, i then replace Junior 8 with Hiarcs 9,



Would this optimize its book beyond what you could on the chessbase server?
Because S8 is the strongest engine, and i'll throw in another just for a style
difference,  J8 is very strong aswell.


Ideas?

I don't want to lose against a strong human on ICC.
