I'm saying all years that I prefer a) which I hope you understood. I always
hoped that no programmer was thinking his engine is worth the upgrade because of
an improved opening book alone (or almost alone).
 If I knew it to be true that Hiarcs is the strongest engine if it had a
different opening book, I would get ONLY Hiarcs, even though it is well down the
list. I would be quite happy to play against it with NO opening book.
