Zappa always used a native book but it was in a hurry to find a Booker: Erdogan was the option and his book was in CB Format. He had to provide a book only with 3-4 weeks for preparation. It was impossible to create a native book. While the ICGA estalishes that Rule, then players will hava to accept that rule. I don't care if you think it is a good idea or not. I have seen a Booker for 4 years and I have never used the CB Gui to hold my books. In this case, it was an emergency since I had to retire from the Zappa's Project. A solution had to be done by Anthony. The fact is Zappa + Erdogan has been a great solution. Such debates are relevant before the Tournaments are held. Finising the Tournament, it is just irrelevant. So, it seems to be that you missed my points too. Then, what you want to imply?
