Actually I changed book twice. The first one was built for 7.0 but after 10 or so games it was clear that some lines were too bad against strong opponents. I think the reason was a combination if it being auto-generated (no human inspection) and not being deep enough (it had only run for two days). Then I shortly tried an old book, made for 6.5 komi, but didn't like that either so the second half of the tournament I just ran without book. BTW in some recent self-play test games Steenvreter got around 10 to 15% jigo's. I guess the reason why there were fewer in the tournament is because jigo's are less likely when the programs are more different in strength.
