I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but try he

BookThinker used to come with the chess engine "Thinker" (see link above).

For instance, you can use BookThinker with Arena (www.playwitharena.com) as
follows:
The other method is to download and use Bookthinker. Bookthinker is a book
engine that plays the opening before handing control over to the engine. The
way to do it is as follows.

a.. Download and unzip the files bookthinker.dat and bookthinker.exe into
the directory with the engine you want to use it with. For this example, I
will be using bookthinker with List - a Winboard engine with no opening
book.

b.. When setting up the engine make sure the command line path points to
bookthinker.exe.

c.. In the "options" box, type in the name of the execute file of the real
engine, in this case list.exe.

d.. Click okay.

Instructions for WinBoard:

For now, though there is one book engine that handles the switch by itself -
Bookthinker (which comes with the Winboard engine Thinker) . Bookthinker is
a book engine that plays the opening before handing control over to the
engine. The way to do it is as follows.
a.. Download Thinker 4.1c (newer versions don't contain bookthinker) and
unzip the files bookthinker.dat and bookthinker.exe into the directory with
the engine you want to use it with. For this example, I will be using
bookthinker with List - a Winboard engine with no opening book that is in
c:\chesseng \list
b.. While bookthinker.dat cannot be renamed, you are free to rename
bookthinker.exe. In my example I have renamed it to listbook.exe Alter your
winboard ini by inserting Bookthinker.exe in front of list.exe in your
normal entry.
c.. For example mine now reads "Listbook list" /fd=c:\chesseng\list
because I have renamed bookthinker.exe to listbook.exe
d.. You can also create custom opening books for use with bookthinker.
However Winboard engines that do not support force command will not work
with Bookthinker. There is no way currently to send command line or
parimeters to engines using Winboard because Winboard does not support
quotes. Hence engines that send init strings or need command line parameters
probably will not have problems too. Some engines may also have time
allocation problems.
