It's composed of about 630,000 games of "high rated" players but I don't know what's the elo cutoff. To get both a huge book and a book specifically tuned to Fritz 7, you can buy the Powerbook 2002 and then import the Fritz7.ctg book into it. You'll get all the moves and lines of both books and they'll be labeled as green (play in tournament) and red (don't play in tournament) according to the Fritz7.ctg book. Thus, Fritz will have the best of both worlds. A huge book and it won't play any lines that it's own native book tells it to avoid. (You can import more books into this tree but it's a good idea to import only one book into it. A sceond book, say Junior's, will have different moves labeled as play and never play and get the green's and red's all mixed up.)
