And I threw out all games played by computers, unless there are some in Dann's collection, I didn't check. So the total size of the pgn file was 172mb, and unlike the last book I made for Amy, this one got smaller, and only turned out a book of 136mb. Amy claims to have seen 245503 games, I don't have a practical way to check to see if there were more games than that (that I know of). Seems like a good book to me. I played this game against Amy, and Amy stopped making moves at move 23 and it's flag dropped. I didn't have the skill to win this game, and I don't see the final position as being in my favor. I didn't have Winboard set up to call the flag if it dropped. I don't consider myself as having won this game Pete [Event "Computer chess game"] [Site "DEFAULT"] [Date "2000.03.22"] [Round "-"] [White "User"] [Black "Amy"] [Result "*"] [TimeControl "60/600"] 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3.
