For UCI engines, add the extra option -fUCI . To use the GUI book, make sure the book filename is valid, the option üse Polyglot book" is ticked and "Frst has Own Book" is unticked.

Might be able to make this one, can I check if you mean 21:00 CEST though? As Europe has moved to daylight savings, 21:00 CET is the same 21:00 British Summer Time (BST) whereas 21:00 CEST is 20:00 BST. I am in TZ BST and am just checking when you are starting ...
