You may be right about my program because the engine is weak(My estimate is that it is 50 or 100 elo better than Gerbil) and I believe that it is not so weak to get 0 out of 20 so it can get 0.5 out of 20 but I expect that if you use Crafty or Yace with a small book only to get the opponent out of book you are going to get clearly more than 0.5 out of 20 against Noomen's book. The book does not have to include the best lines and lines that get equality with white and were not played in the past are enough. I can start with 1.c3 or 1.d3 in order to get equality. Noomen may have a reply to these moves but I will be surprised if he has a reply if I continue these lines some moves forward in order to get equal positions that were not played in the past. Uri
