I don't agree with that, I simply asked which  program has the best Book, we all
know that Chess Tiger 13.0 and Shredder 5 are better program than Nimzo 8.
I just finished a small test in which Fritz 6a using Nimzo 8.ctg or Opening book
beat Chess Tiger 13.0  8 games out of 15 at G/30. But in another test using
Fritz 6a original Book Chess Tiger 13.0 won by 8.5 out of 15 at G/30. Therefore,
the Opening Book is irrevelant to the strength of the program.
