craftys opening book in ICC is anything but perfect.
its more or less like the powerbook of CB.
'I think' the idea about have huge book for crafty in ICC is to play wide range

since so many GMs play against it.........may be not to bore them ;)

yes i agree with you commercial programs has bad book lines..... (eg, Junior??)
