Tell me now if this statement is not a disqualification (Sorry, we must
*believe* that a cheap Blass declaration is the absoulete true). Do you really
know who is Jeroen Noomen? Do you have any idea?

If you dont know it: the book is a component of a chess program. I dont know if
you remember the game between Yace and Shredder in Paderborn 2003 when Yace
beated Shredder due to a combined preparation: Dieter (program tuning) + Pesce
(book).

I dont see any relation about running the engines without books or with the Nunn
Positions and the matter of the book. ????

What are you trying to prove here?

Do you know that the Chess Partner Book of Sjeng is different from the Native
Sjeng Book? The Chess Partner Book of Sjeng is created by Jeroen Noomen but I am
not sure about the Sjeng Native Book.

I am not sure what you are talking about here. ???

Put a random book with a chess program and face it against a Kure Book. I can
assure and prove you that your asumption is false again.
