I am going to steer away and stay clear of my opinions concerning Rybka in program vs. program matches. It is indeed very, very strong, and i will leave it at that. But for this instance i think strength is irrelevant. I really hate to see a program sold commercially, via download or disc, that has no opening book with it. I may be wrong, but as far as i can tell, there are none planned for the future. That is a precedent i really hate to see set. Because the next guy that comes along with a strong program, and he will, will look at this and say they bought this program without a book- why should I include one in mine. I'll just bypass that effort. IMO approx. $40 US is a hefty price for a program with no opening book, regardless of its strength. Regards, George
