I know that you did not buy shredder and did not buy fruit and did not buy rybka. All of them are the programs that were the best at the time that they were released(Now rybka is the best and it dominates the rating lists). For some reason you care too much about book and you did not buy shredder because of not being able to use sandro's book outside of shredder gui. I think that no book is no problem and rybka with some external book simply dominates in chess servers and proves again that the main important factor is the engine and not the book because it is easy to make books. Book may be important factor when the difference between engines is small but good book is not very important in games when one engine is significantly better. Uri
