Can this not be accomplished >by using the opening position suggested by GM Nunn Or other typical positions. Under certain conditions this would be more fair , eg in the Korrespondence Cup; not so much as to eliminate the strength of the book(s), but more to create equal conditions in a limited number of matches. In series of games, where a lot of games are played, like on the ICC (both human-computer and computer-computer), booklearning is no cheating I would say. It would be another thing if eg. Fritz5 has a special anti-Rebel/Hiarcs book. That would be just a trick, ofcourse. But to my knowledge Fritz5 uses percentages of games won/lost to select a bookmove; also used by New in Chess; and many grandmasters, I presume..
