Lunsen vrs Powerbooks:

The Opening Book
By E. Lunsen

The opening book contains only games in which both players have an Elo rating
over 2200 whereas Power Book by Chessbase contains also games in which one
player has an Elo rating over 2000 and the other player has an Elo rating below
2000. Short and incomplete games were also exluded as well as games containing
tactical opening blunders. The opening book represents the closest possible
approach to ideal proportion between quality of playing strength and
comprehensiveness of quantity of included games
