It would be very interesting to make a gambit Opening's Book for Arena to play versus humans since most engines don't fall for Gambit that could be seing in three to four moves ahead.

PS: If you like simply take the Rook out and play versus Rybka 3, a handicap of a Rook odd would be like playing with a Gambit Opening Book :lol:

Try Christopher Conkie's book. It is full of gambit lines. I think his book is called Wizard from memory.

If someone can point me in the right direction I can whip together a quick gambit book for Arena. I don't use Arena very often and haven't a clue how to go about creating books for it.

I have a couple of private gambit books in CTG format -- one for human vs engines and one that's designed for engine vs engine games for my own amusement. I used Bangiev's "Gambit Lexicon" database as a primer for my books with a heavy dose of newer games added to the mix.
