Hi Patrick,

You are right, but I did say that in my instructions http://www.fierz.ch/book.php . If you save the new book to the engines folder, the old book should be overwritten and there is no need to delete it.

Just to test whether I installed it correct, does cake's book still choose 9-14 as it's "best move" for it's first move under the "best move" option?

Now I'm sure I installed it right. I deleted the older book and just replaced it with the new: It now chooses 11-16 as it's "best move" for it's first move under the "best moves" opening book option.
