Hello Thorsten, The results may improve very slightly at 40/2 (maybe not) but there is no "accurate" setting on CSTal's opening book. There are 3 settings. They are: Popularity, Strength & Random. I used the "Strength" setting and the Large.bok of over 520 M. As for your "right style" we have heard this from you before when you tried to convince everybody you had created a style that was better than the original. Even you had to finally admit your style was not better. In any case. I am comparing the two original programs as sold to the public. That is the only thing that really matters. I have no "killer book" for either side (which would be unfair). CSTal was a great idea but it is not as good as the top commercial programs. Who knows what would have happened if Chris had stuck to it. I wish he had. Jim
