=Book Playing=
* [[Engines]]: They can directly use opening books to make move. Some engines use external books, some others integrate books inside their codes. Those engines need both opening book code and book data to run
* [[GUI]]: They can play opening books thus engines don't need to deal with and they just start computing from the middle period only. This way is quite popular because of some advantages (compared with let letting engines play opening books themselves): simplifier for chess engines, save space, easier to manage opening books, more various ways to select openings, more fair-play to compare engines... The main disadvantage is that engines can’t or hardly use some book learning techniques
