Actually, I can see both issues here, and you have to give the orignal author(s) of the books some credit here. Completely understandable. IMHO, a good(?) solution to this problem is to have all programs use no opening book at all, having them rely solely on pruning techniques and evaluation heuristics :^). Now THAT would be an interesting tournament!!! :^). I wonder if anyone has actually run a tournament like this before? (Shrug.) Hmmm. I wonder how many programmers have actually written their programs to dive out of the book early, knowing that a particular program will eventually wind up in time trouble or a bad position or something? :^) :^). Could we see 1. A3! in the not-to-distant future?? :^):^) Randall
