(so no excuses for the tiger)assuming that the chessbase tiger book is not optimised for tiger(which i doubt very much-in my opinion the chessbase book is at least as good as the noomen book,if not better)it certainly is not optimised for junior 5. i initially thought of using the junior5 book for both programmes but then there would be the excuse that tiger is using an un-optimised book. the fact that as of today the score is tiger w=14;l=11; d=15 shows that there is very little to separate tired old junior5 from the so called 'monster" chesstiger. i am a firm believer in the theory that 99% of the so-called improvement in newer programmes comes from the opening book and that basically any good opening book consisting of high level gm games will equally suit all programmes rajen
