The thing with the use of EG database + others not using it is a serious question. One should ask the Swedish folks 'bout this...... The other one, concerning " power books " - is quite easy to understand, if one does / did some researches on them special books of the progs. Name them " power " "GM " " tournament " - they're all mainly not dedicated for the use against GM's - but mostly against mechanic oponents; having these circumstances in mind - FRITZ' books were allways crap - according to the high standards of Ed's, Richard's + others. The only lines where they were basically good enough were the Queens gambit lines, D22 - 29; D 47-49. So I suggest they did some improvements there - to name it this way - like all the other progs...and human GM's do, as well. And remembering the book learning features of the most of them - it'll remain interseting to see, HOW good the improvement was, after all. And concerning the engine assuming - I'd still like ( + do so ) use different engines under this platform to get different sighted answers for my questions than only one....from F5. ELVIS
