Subject: opening book poll

Author: Tim F. Ginnett

becuase the choices in the poll were rather narrow (also apples and
oranges I would say), here is my two cents worth......

Two types of comparisons (at least) should be made.  There should be
tests done from starting positions without opening books which would
evaluate the engine only.  For people who use computers mostly for
analysis, this is the relevant ranking.  The other would be with
whatever opening book is supplied with the program and this would
evaluate overall strength.  For people who want a strong training
partner the second is more important.
