Hi,

this shouldn´t be a problem would it? :-)

Not joking:
I think a good book could improve a chess engine, and a bad book can hinder a
chess engine.
My theory is that the stronger a chess engine is, the better must a book be to
not  weaken the strength of the engine. Thus a strong engine needs at least an
acceptable book. The amount of elo a strong engine can gain from a "very strong
book" (i.e. a book that is well tuned for the engine) is much less than the
amount of elo a weak engine can gain.

Greetings Volker
