Re: [Scidvspc-users] Can't play tournament with opening book

[Steve A <ste...@gm...>]

Yes you're right, this feature is for UCI engines only

"Use book gives UCI engines access to polyglot opening books, enabling
a greater variety of play. Book moves are selected in frequency
according to their weight. "

XBoard engines can use their own book, but have to be configured
individually, using the
"parameters" and "directory" fields in the "Tools -> AnalysisEngines
-> Edit" dialog.
