Hi Jorge!

All I'm saying my man is that your question "which is best" cannot be answered
so easily without a massive debate.

Also I'm not sure what you are trying to get at with your Chess Tiger vs. Fritz
6a thing... Not enough games at all. I think you'd be very hard pressed to find
many holes in todays opening books for commerical programs. They are all very
solid.

I've heard also that sometimes opening books are tuned for the style in which an
engine plays. Example ==> Gandalf's book.

Why does everything have to be so complicated in computer chess? :)
