To my pretty well practiced eye, the powerbook seems to really be a good book for Fritz. IE I rarely see it get bad opening positions for either black or white, which is really all you can ask of your book anyway. The standard book seems (to me, anyway) to be worse. I have seen Fritz come out of book (standard book) completely busted and lost. I don't recall such a game when my opponent was using the powerbook. It must represent a good bit of work to behave like that, no doubt...
