The only difference with UCI version is that the CB interface allows for 2 book settings while the UCI has 3. The CB tournament setting is like the UCI std. so allowing a wider range of moves to play. The tournament book setting in UCI allows only moves from a to c and not the d ones, if available, so only stronger moves and this can be estimated in about 10-15 Elo points. So not that much different. > >You get a pre-compiled book from thousands of games, then weighted to suit >Shredder's style in a general way. > >Even with Fritz you do not get Kure's books.
