Most of the answers to your questions are in the Arena help file.
How to set Rybka moves
Sort:
I went to the help file, and it said that most engines will use the arena main opening book, which is what I believe Rybka is doing. But that we can set specific engine opening books. However I couldn't work out how to do that. Can anyone help?

When I study chess games I often study Tal or Andersen. Their games are beutiful. Watching Rypka playing against another computer is lame. It's almost like watching Magnus Carlsen's games ;)
Ok congratulations skakmadurin.
I'm not sure if you noticed, but I didn't ask for advice of which way should I study chess. I'm asking specific technical information about arena3 and Rybka4.
I appreciate if anyone could answer my 3 questions:
1- How do I create a new arena opening book?
2- How do I make the engine use it?
3- Does that work in tournament mode?

Am I allowed to play engines? Or will I be arrested for doing so?
Please if anyone can't answer my questions, I appreciate you don't interrupt the thread.
My 3 questions are:
1- How do I create a new arena opening book?
2- How do I make the engine use it?
3- Does that work in tournament mode?
Personally I prefer capablanca's games, they are simple and instructive and very human, despite his title of "the human chess machine"
Anyone else wants to share about your favorite chess star before we move on to answering my questions?
Part of the problem is already solved: I could set a new opening book for Rybka: Perfect 2010. I'm not sure if it's the best opening book out there, but at least Rybka is playing openings of grown up people now.
Do you know how to set a fixed engine for arena white and a different one for black?
I'm not sure what you're asking here. You can simply load two engines using "Engines -> Manage -> Select". (Change the order of the two engines in the list to change which engine gets white or black.)
Or you can just set up a tournament with two engines.
