I am very disappointed too. Also, the opening book in Genius 6 is unfortunately very bad. The book seems to have been built automatically from a huge game database, without any specific tuning. The book includes moves which have been played only in one single game. Including only moves which have been played in at least three games between good players (like in Crafty's book, for instance) greatly improves the quality of the opening book. Genius 6 allows the user to build opening books from game databases, but unfortunately it lacks the extremely important feature to exclude moves which have been played only a few number of times... :-( Tord
