I myself had wondered whether Dr. Hyatt had specified which book to use in the SSDF testing though I am not sure I see any disadvantage caused simply by the program interface. >.......i believe the answers in >"no".

And you are entitled to your opinion, it is own shared by others. ......i dont have to be right.....i may be wrong.......but what i >am saying makes sense :). i think the fritz interface is not yet approved widely >as much as winboard is, and thus it is inadequate to have games (SSDF games) of >such high importance to be played under this interface. What do you think? I don't think the interface has any effect. The question is does Crafty 17-10 for Winboard make the same moves as the Chessbase Crafty to that I believe the answer is yes and the real effect is therefore the opening book. >thanks for your thoughts about the topic >greetings from >pavel :) > >ps, sorry again about the language......i have planned to write this piece in >every posts......since some people over here doesnt seem to like the way i >write.

Your language is fine and clearly easy to understand !!. Thanks.
