My 2 cents: I think this will not help Fritz. Fritz' own book is a very wide statistically book, not tuned by hand. And Fritz is playing only tactical, but this very good. If u give fritz a Geniusbook, which is probably very posititional, u will Fritz guide to openings, where it can't continue with a good tactical concept, and .... will lose. A very interesting thing i detected with crafty: Now after using the top50.bin-book crafty is longer in book then in earlier games. And the endposition (after out-of-book) is nearly in every case a position without tactical possibilities. More and more games Fritz lose against Crafty. And the only reason is the top50-book. Crafty is almost 2 or 3 moves longer in the book then Fritz. So Fritz' own book is it's disadvantedge. This top50 is, of course, no killerbook against Fritz. It's only a book, which fits better to Crafty then other books. Try to find a book, which leads into tactical positions, then u have a book, which fits to Fritz. Also Rebel's book is very good tuned, Crafty has more problems then against Fritz. I think also Rebel's book is not a good source for Fritz. Peter
