I was kicked out of Chapters because I moved all the Bibles to the fiction section.

Great. Thinker is very strong and should have good result in the CCT11!

I don't know why you say that. In the last ACCA Pan Am Computer
Chess Championships, some were complaining that Thinker didn't
kibitz. So, Bob checked the log files for the game against Crafty
and it did kibitz. It just didn't kibitz book moves which is fine.
That is exactly what caused the complaints, it has a very deep
book. It wasn't out of book in the Crafty match until move 27.
Those complaining didn't pay attention to how fast it was moving.
