Well please consider this.  An opening book serves a purpose.  It is to help the
player get through the complicated/highly analyzed beginning positions without
falling into one of those highly analyzed traps.  Giving Rybka a nice book like
Shredders is great but then you handicap Fritz with 5 moves ctg ??
Just my opinion.
