It is a rather small book ( 34 megs ), but of >very good quality. Fritz5.32 is not better than the average of the programs that you play based on your description. The only way that I can imagine that it may be possible to get 80% against these opponents when they use better hardware is to work a lot of time at home in preparing killer lines but the opponents can easily get more than 20% by preparing a secret small book that contain lines like 1.e4 e5 2.a3 or 1.e4 and against every move 2.d3 when I do not believe that your small book will have killer lines against most of these lines. Something seems wrong to me. Maybe part of your opponent are cheaters and are humans who say that they are computers and maybe part of them claim that they are Fritz6 when they are only Fritz1. Uri
