Why do you recommend that, when you wrote yourself "All variations are converted
properly, however the probabilities are often wrong
of course" ?? A book with wrong probabilities is worse than no book...

It was repeatedly posted in the past, that this conversion function OBK->CTG
doesn't produce proper results. If a specific book for King (in Fritz) is
required, it's better to use some common (not engine-specific) book, like those
some fans have generated already, or generate a new CTG from a good database of
games.

Please do not use conversion garbage as a book for The King (nor for any other
engine), as this will be a big disadvantage and give an unfair wrong impression
of the engine's strength!
