Just remember Hydra's loss to Shredder when it lost in 30 moves while still in book. There are many other examples which show that a good engien must have a good book to be competitive. Without a good book an engine is an easy prey. But this is an old thread and if you remember an average guess about the worth of a good book was ranging from 100 up to 250 points. I'd settle for about 150 points at slow time controls, with 250 points at blitz. Djordje
