This thread made me curious, so I decided to check it out, since I own the Powerbook 2000 CD. To my surprise the books are identical (!) Powerbook has 527 MB (553.553.920 bytes) and Lunsen book has 527 MB (553.553.920 bytes) Not only the filesize matches, also the statistics; every move is mentioned in the tree with the same number of total games played, percentage scored, etc. When looking at the databases behind these books, however, it becomes clear that Lunsen has a point in stating that the wrong book (an uploaded Powerbook) has been put on the website for download. The database is totally different from the one that was used to generate the Powerbook. Number of games, order of games, etc. Ergo, to get the real Lunsen book you have to generate it from the Lunsen database. Regards, Ron
