Most of the time the books you make do a splendid job resulting in very sharp and 100% correct opening theory. Thanks for that as it is an enrichment for computer chess in general giving people the best of two worlds: the chess program itself and a terrific up-to-date opening book. Don't bother too much when sometimes a lesser opening line is played as it comes with the job. In this respect a bad opening line is not much different than a bad (and lost) game by the engine after a good opening line of you. The very same is (of course) true for Alex. Ed
