I'm a newbie with engine matches, so have a stupid question... I'm trying to setup a match between Shredder 9 UCI and Toga II 1.0 [Pascal] in the Shredder Classic GUI. The problem is that if I select the Shredder opening book for both engines, Toga ignores it and uses no opening book, while Shredder takes a long time to make its opening moves. Shredder is calculating the opening moves rather than using its book! So under those conditions Shredder has a big disadvantage timewise from the start, and there's no reason to run the match! If I check the box for Toga to use its engine book, then it plays reasonable opening moves, and it plays them instantly. However I want both engines to use the same book. I would be happy if Shredder could also use the Toga engine book, but doubt that can be done(?). I don't really care what opening book is used so long as both engines will use it! I don't want to run the match without any opening book which produces ridiculous games. So how do I make both engines use the same opening book, and make both of them play the opening moves quickly from book (and not calculate them)? WP
