cutechess -book and -repeat: how are book choices made

Post by CRoberson »

What algorithm does cutechess use to to choose a book line? In other words, if I have a large book with more than 100 lines and I run 200 games with -repeat and then do the same thing again will I get the exact same 100 lines the second time as the first time?
