Hi Sandro,

Thanks for your backup! Of course you are right: Making a good openingbook
requires enormous amounts of time, blood sweat & tears, testing AND a lot of
knowledge about opening lines. Just count how many high quality books there are:
I don't think very many!

Still, we - the book authors - should do something about the shameless copying
and use of other's books. I was in Maastricht and there I saw/heard enough. So I
count on a regulation by the ICCA.

Best regards, Jeroen
