Hi Alex

As the author you should know

Which book has priority

Does arena use the engine book first and when it runs out of positions use
mainbook or vice versa

seems as the small book the engine book would be used first

Which main book do you recommend with the engine book

So there is no confusion here

Are not xxx.abk arena books and not engine books

which I take to be of another format particular to the individual engine

Well fixed format was checked but I did not see the engine books mentioned

where should I be looking ?
