Subject: Chess Tiger 15 (CB) Opening Book

Author: Jasmine Baer

Hi.

The opening book that came with CB's version of CT15 is nothing but a book
cobbled together from some previously played games.

Is there a book that exists for CT15 that has actually been crafted and "cooked"
for CT15?  If so, is this book available for use in the Fritz 8 interface, and
is it freely available?  I do not wish to violate any rules.

The reason I ask is that I am continuing a home computer chess tournament with
the following settings/restraints:

1.  40'/40 + 40'/40 + 40'
2.  Hash = 128MB
3.  Ponder off
4.  All engines use their stock book (all books are read-only - no learning
function)
5.  Played in Fritz 8 GUI (version 16)
6.  PC = Pentium 4 2.0GHz w/512MB RAM
7.  PC is rebooted after 10 games

Participating engines:
Shredder 9, Shredder 8, Shredder 7.04, Junior 9, Junior 8, Fritz 8 (Bilbao),
Hiarcs 9, Gandalf 6, Deep Sjeng 1.6, Ruffian 2.1.0 (additional engines can and
will be added).

All of the participating engines have a stock book that has some degree of
cooking.  I would like to enter Chess Tiger 15, but I feel that his stock book
places him at a disadvantage.

I am looking for suggestions that would allow me to fairly bring CT 15 into the
tournament.  It is a fun engine, and I feel as though the tourney is incomplete
without his participation.
