Not sure what you mean with that. 80% of what? Of ELO-points? So the other 20% are the engine itself? If Shredder with a good book has 2600 (just an example!) ELO, my extremely bad engine with the same book would have 2080 ELO? (=80% of 2600 ELO) Surely not what you have in mind.. :) What one could do is to make a (large enough) tournament with an engine w/o book and compare the estimated ELO with the estimated ELO w/ the book and then conclude that for this specific engine, playing w/o book means a decrease of X ELOs. (I'm sure the decrease depends playing-style etc of the engine) But "80% of program's strength" doesn't mean anything to me. (maybe it's just me :) Regards, Sargon
