If an engine author could have only one entry why should a book-author have several entries. I fully agree with Mr. Ballicora that this should also be for tablebases. I don't see any difference other than two fases of the game, the moves are comming from others work and thereby they should be in the team and with one entry in a tournament. I think there is more to it, what about gui that do part of work that have with performance like the learning function in Fritz gui. I don't know the books in Fritz but I assumed that only the original Fritz (was it Quest) use the Kure book but the learning is the same. Legaly this is another issue, here you could give permissions. Odd Gunnar
