>>>>Which program had the best opening book? Shredder 5.0 >> >>you must be kidding! >>shredder´s book was so very bad that shredder was named there "houdini-chess" >>because first he has had to untie himself. >> >>sorry, but it was one of the worst one´s. > >A good book is not a book that leads you to better positions but a book that >lead you to better result. i have the same opinion, but against nimzo and rebel the book leaded into a loss. > >I read that the 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.f3 line shredder has more than 90% result and >if it is the case this line was a very good line. i didn´t say that this line is bad. > >I read that the line against Sos was also good. > >I do not say that book of shredder was the best but I disagree that it was one >of the worst who was more worse? > > >>alex´book was BY FAR the best and there is NO doubt about that. >>having killer line´s but also with hardly a whole. >> >>>>Which program had the worst opening book? >> >>here you can say shredder. >> >>>>Which program had the best middlegame?
