I can easily found a bunch of games of Aronian but if I build a book based on these games, it will take into account the lines picked by all the opponents as well.
Do you know how I can make the engine to play only Aronian lines with white and pick only Aronian's line with black?... I hope this is not to much confusing
Thanks in advance
If you are using the UCI interface (Shredder classic) you can do it as follows:

create a new book and name it Adorian...
import all the games
manually change the ratings of the moves played by Adorian (where there are alternatives) using letters a to c (a is the best and played more frequently than b which is played more frequently than c)
the other moves must have a d letter
now chose tournament book option

now you got it!
