There is a large difference between the opening book and the included database for a program. For the database, persons might be curious to find out how Anand did at age 10 or how Judit Polgar did when she was young (for instance). Or maybe there was a Nationals Final for under 16 year old people for some country or whatever. Now, the opening database will be a binary file. It will have games carefully hand selected. Sometimes, they are analyzed for mistakes. >Anatoli
