Hi Kai,

This seems very strange to me. From my own testing I can see a huge difference
between the CB standard books (that came with Shredder 5.32 and Chess Tiger 14.0
for example) and the Fritz 7 book. The last one is by far better then the
standard book, so you have a clear advantage here. Anyway, a program should be
tested with its own book IMO, not with a 'random chosen' book. Otherwise Crafty,
Goliath and all the others running under the CB GUI might as well take the
Fritz7.ctg, can't they?

Moreover, if there is apparently a choice, i'd like Chess Tiger 14.0 being
tested in Sweden with the Fritz 7 book as well. Because I know it will perform
much better using this book instead of the standard book. Dear friends from
Sweden, can this be arranged?

I want to stress the fact that I, of couse, do not blame you. But as far as I am
concerned, this is a very strange decision by SSDF.
