Thank you, Larry. This was the subject of a long argument/flamewar here last summer. I was repeatedly asked which opening book from which of our programs was the "best". My answer (which was to use the book that came with the specific engine you're running) wasn't considered suitable by someone who thought that there's some ultimate quantifiable answer to the question of which one is "best". Thanks for reinforcing my point. -- Steve Lopez [so which are better -- apples or oranges?] The Chess Kamikaze Home Page: http://www.geocities.com/ludekdudek/ The Chess Kamikaze Club: http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/chesskamikazes
