Your message just happened to be the last in the thread at the time and the temptation to take a swing at the "Crafty excuse company" proved too overpowering. The latest Nalimov build of Crafty 17.13 seems vicious and mean, so I doubt that only Gandalf will suffer when confronted with its strength. And as James mentions, a better or more specialized book would do wonders. However, you can go a long way with learning and a narrow bookwidth. Mogens.
