My opinion is simply that the interesting part is the engine and not book preperation against computer opponents. The point is that an engine that prefer opening A and not opening B may be able to play better opening B and not opening A after it is improved. It means that the book maker will need to change the opening book to teach it to prefer opening B and not opening A. In other words the book for tournament 1 may be little relevance to future tournament 2 when the work of the author for tournament 1 is still relevant for tournament 2 because without the basis that he had in toutnament 1 he could not improve the engine for tournament 2.
