New features include:

1) This release has some general improvements and handles now opening books. What you need to do like for engines just drop the .bin opening book files in the books directory. Any polyglot book is supported. You can download famous Cerbellum from here https://zipproth.com/Brainfish/download/ but very  many are available on internet, just drop them in the books dir and they will apperan in the menu for selection.

2) We also added a modding possibility and instead running with double click on Certabo icon go in the Certabo directory and double click on Deep_Engine_Searching_Mode.bat this will launch a version with very high limit on depth so you will see as max depth  the value  stated in the file which by default is 50. Anyhow theoretically there is no limit on that value you can open the file with any txt editor and change 50 to any wanted value. Remember if you want to enable the syzygy tablebase you need to activate them  creating in users\youruser\AppData\Local\Certabo\GUI\ an additional directory called syzygy and putting there your tablebase to  have them properly loaded.
