A different one as i do at least. How much alcohol does it take to drink to say that a hand tuned book is not 100 points better? anyone who has seriously auto232 played at home will be able to tell you the influence. If i do it here we talk about scoring 100% against an amateur or way way less. That's a *major* difference. >If someone has an epd file of opening positions ordered by frequency based on a >big database of games then it may be interesting to find the positions that >programs have problems with them. You are not bad in math. you should understand that if you play 15 book moves that an automatical book has a near to 100% chance to get into a completely *refuted* line. Each move there is a chance of around 50% to go wrong. >Uri
