Subject: Question about Tournaments

Author: Jonathan Oliver

Date: 15:30:23 01/04/99


I am new here, so maybe this question will sound dumb:  When tournaments between
Chess Programs are played, do the chess programs use their pre-programmed
opening books?  I was just wondering.  I would seem to me (with my very limited
chess program knowledge) that if the tournament tested the abilities of the
program to "think" it would not use any opening books.

Sorry about my complete lack of knowledge
