When I used the Power books for Fritz 5.32, and Fritz 6, I found they stayed in
book longer, and seemed to get into bad positions early, and had to fight their
way out, most times doing so.

I strongly recommend the general.ctg, that came with Fritz 5.32, as I think it
is a better book over the Fritz 6 book. I seem to do better with it over the
ICS.
