They could hire opening experts to create such a book, which would really be theory and not just 80% database material. But it's unlikely that all the companies would ever agree about such an idea. Some will think they loose an advantage, some will be afraid that the book will be manipulated, and others just won't be interested. I know that everyone can create a book for nearly all the programs, but unless there's one standard book which is used always, you will have results from different books again. You can't avoid this effect just by changing colors. We will never know which program is strongest among the top programs, as long as there are many of them in a seemingly *narrow margin* of strength. Regards, M.Scheidl
