What has this got to do with Sjeng? My point was that it would take a professional programmer not long to get some basic book code working. (no learning needed for a single tournament) Vincent then tried to make some point by mentioning my engine, which doesn't make sense since it has complete standalone book logic. You guys are claiming it is a big hassle to write all-new basic book code. I find that claim ludicrous. -- GCP
