For a long time I was making opening books using only games played by computer programs, and admitedly they would have borrowed book lines from thos programs, but when all was said and done, they were genuinly crappy opening books. Now if I'm making an opning book for a program, I take a 180 degree oposite approach, and remove all program games from the database before I compile the book. I still throw out all games that are draws though, but that might be a mistake. Pete
