Subject: Understanding book learning.

I have many chess programs but Fritz 6 is the one that prompts me to ask about
book learning. I have had Fritz 6 since it first came out. A few times I have
hit optimize book but changed right back to default. I have never been very
comfortable with book learning. Not that it is not a good thing, I just don't
understand it well. If I used my pc for only long time control match's between
programs I would not hesitate to set learning high. The problem is I tend to
play a mix of slow and fast games. I do not think I want the fast game info in
the learning file deciding moves at the start of a game. Even worse, I play the
program myself and I know I do not want that info in there. Seems as though info
like that could send a program down a bad road. It's like mixing audio for a
band. You can have a $100,000 pa and all the fancy effects in the world but in
the end ---- crap in is crap out.

If any one would like to give me book learning 101 I would be grateful.

Thanks
Joe
