I've been told many times in this forum that playing without an opening book is a pointless exercise in futility and that incorporating opening knowledge in a program isn't necessary. The same goes for endgame knowledge of course. If only there was a way to avoid or "solve" the middlegame everyone would be happy and we would have an automated database program. Who knows, Chessbase 8.0 could eventually become the strongest chess program. Sarcasm aside, I think it's a very good idea and an interesting experiment, which derserves more attention than it's getting. Especially since it's been a personal agenda of mine for some time :o). Best wishes... Mogens
