He William
Shredder can't use other books. But to play
an engine match between Toga and Shredder both
using the Shredder book, just load at first
Toga, choose Engine Options and delete the
words "book_small.bin" in the opening box.
Then you can start an engine match giving
both engines the same bkt.
