Presumably ECO only is politically correct and additions to the book bring in active/passive/cooking/long lines/autoplayer/cptr-cptr and these introduce political incorrectness ? Data with politics. Shall we submit our opening books to the Czub-committee in future for acceptance or rejection ? You can make a whole new email group with politically acceptable members for pre-determination of the outcome ...... Chris Whittington > >> >>-Peter
