Hi,
Must say: The Raid 2.73 engine is very good and strong!
I just placed the "Raid-TR-200823.bin" book to the same folder where Raid 2.73 engine is and renamed to Raid1.bin because in the engine options it was already named "Raid1.bin"
After quick testing engine match Raid 2.73 with berserk 11.1, the score was ( +8 = 8 -0) !
But what about for the second book option?
it will be better to use another book or it's enought to have just one book?
Thank you for your job!

Thank you Mr Minutka15
My advice is that you can use any book you want and trust. If you have two books, which you trust you can use them both. On my tests with v2.73 i didn't need a book at all. It played great without any book. But then a book on its own helps to cover the gap between starting afresh and starting at the middle (engine evaluation)
The issue with two books is that they hv to complement each other very well. Because if the first book has good moves and at some point it runs out of positions/moves and it happens that on that position book2 has that position but is a bad line then ull be in alot of trouble.
But if both of them hold good lines then u r safe.
In short if you want to use two books , first test them n see if they work good together then decide.
