Hi Jonas,

The problem with your statement is that it is not quite true. Junior 7 and Fritz
7 do not come with a what you call "standard book". In fact Junior 7's book was
edited by GM Boris Alterman and Fritz 7's book by me. They are of a very high
quality, a quality you will never reach by compiling a book from PGN-files no
matter what games you take.
If there are any mistakes in the book it would be helpful to point at them, but
a sentence like "leaves black or white down 2 pawns" without giving the
variation is without use and help.

Greetings
Alex
