First one is to find good collection of highly rated comp vs comp games played on
as big timer as u can find. These games can easily be found on the net, and my tip is
to search for all freestylers games coz most of them are played with good opening books
and importing that games is surely better than importing lets say 3/0 games from pcc.
My conclusion is that this approach is good but it wont pay off when playing versus
strong players with good opening preparation, coz they will always be a couple of moves
more in the book wich is essential when playin games under 10 mins.
Second approach is to start from regular opening book, lets say fritz 10, dj 10 or takkers..., and to bulid a book from scratch. What i mean by that is that u should analise every single game u play. All games are saved in autosave.cbh so after u play u should go back to first out of book move, and start analising it looking for better moves than ur prog actually played.
If found that move should be entered in opening move as main move to play. Analising a move
should be done at least to 25 depth. This way u will eventually get a move that u wont be able
to found in games played under 3/0 16/0 or 400/40 database that can be found on net.
Sometime u might hav problems analising a games, when ur engine on 10th move is showing
lets say +0.20 score but when following that line on 15th move u get +0.01. If this happens
try going on the beggining of that line and try playin second best move that ur engine show.
If again happens try 3rd and so on. Special attention i make to moves that can result in i call
them "trap" moves. Lets say engine gives on 18 depths +0.20 score, but same move on 25 depth gives -0.30 score. If found that is a game over for ur oponent. I have many moves like
that in my book and i can show some examples, but i would rader keep them for actual play
.What ever approach u chose its up to you. Personally i follow 2nd aproach, maybe much harder but hey there are no easy ways to achive antyhin in life.
