When using the SALC book (in each line, white and black castled in opposite directions and the queens are still on board), the chance for attacks towards the opponent king is much higher, than using normal opening-books. Because of this, computerchess using this book, will bring more action and fun to watch (and hopefully a lower number of draws).
You can download it at the Download & Links section. You will find 2 versions: For FritzGUI and ShredderGUI. For each GUI you will find a jpg-picture with the recommended book-settings. It is very important to use these settings, otherwise the book will not work!!! And you will find the games (salc10_filtered.pgn), the book is made of. So, the user can create an own book for using it in other chess-GUIs.

This book should only be used for engine-engine games and each engine should use it. It makes no sense to use the SALC book against other books or for playing at playchess /infinitychess !!!!
