They weren´t random at all.
whoops.. Sorry. The Sufi book was indeed hand picked; the random one was the div p one.

Maybe you copied your stockfish commits from someone else too?
I will look into that.

I also like a tcec with the book ...
But if we do this competition to figure out who is the strongest, we need to have a certain balance in the openings ...
It is known that in the Sicilian Stockfish is stronger than Leela, while Leela is stronger (or was stronger) in other openings such as the Italian and the Russian ...
If in the TCEC there are 30 Sicilian, 2 Italian and no Russian, then it would be more honest to say clearly that it is not a tournament to decide which engine is the strongest.
I love Stockfish (even more than Leela), but to me too this tournament seemed unbalanced and therefore worthless.
