Since I was not really satisfied with the standard CB book of Hiarcs 8(understatement) I quickly tried out the new tournament book. I let Fritz 7 take a bite at it on 3+2 in a 60 games match (2x1530MHz) with pondering on. Afterwards I replayed the games and compared booklines. My impression is that the new tournament book is NOT to be recommended. It's style is very unambitious, and it contains many inferiour lines. Either the maker does not want to keep up with opening theory or he only wants to get "professional" books, like Kure's, out of book a.s.a.p, which is counterproductive. Performance was +26 -10 =24 in favor of Fritz 7. I ran two more tests of 60 games with a generated book from 450.000 mastergames which scored better for Hiarcs (allmost level with Fritz).
