Judging from user comments that I've received, the most probable reasons is either: 1) Incorrect bookpath. Make sure that all three bookfiles are placed in the c:\chessbase\Engines\Gandalf folder. 2) The bookfiles are Read-only, which they frequently are after being copied from CD. Remove Read-only from properties. 3) I don't know if missing items in the res file affects performance (doubtful), so a suggestion would be to use this one instead: LEARNING 1 DRAW 99 99 CONTEMPT 0 RESIGN 7 6 TB BOOKPATH c:\chessbase\Engines\Gandalf HASH 32 TBCACHE That's all I can think of at the moment.
