Swiss 6 results

Swiss Opening Book
The book for Swiss 6 (12 rounds of 24 game pairs) was assembled by Bastiaan (kbg519v1a) from high-level human games from the 1960s to 1980s. The lines are at most eight full moves. Bias is high and always favouring the white side. In each round game pairs 23 and 24 use the same book line. Otherwise all lines are unique and almost all lines are new to TCEC competition. See http://chessopeningsforengines.wikidot.com/tcec-s26-swiss-6-origins for a concordance.
