I have always maintained that good books could greatly improve a persons/programs game. Over sized books, and I mean those who have calculated the first 20 or 40 moves are not a sign of a programs true strength, but a sign of the strength of all of the masters who defined those moves before. If you are playing the moves make by masters and not deciding which move to make yourself then you have not added to your programs strength only its ablilty to read and play someone elses games. I am really glad to see the results of your tests though and I hope that you do some more Thanks Bill
