I am setting up my own chess tournament with many of the free engines available and some commercial ones too. I have a couple of questions that perhaps more experienced "tournament masters" can give some advice on. 1)Most of the engine tournaments that are available seem to use the opening books that come with the engine. I was wondering; if I use a single book, like the Arena mainbook (my tournament is being played using Arena GUI), would this be fair on all engines? 2)I am aware that MAD can only use its own book......are there any others that cannot use the Arena mainbook? 3)A few engines (no names mentioned, because it could be my inexperience in setting them up in the GUI) seem to quite often make illegal moves..could I find somewhere a list of general problems encountered with engines? Any help would be greatly appreciated Many thanks Dario
