Many games in this data-pot are weak games. the book is as big as the fritz-book. it also runs from cd. Have you ever heard us complain about it ?!?!?!?! All these complaints by the fans of fritz are pure ranting because they cannot see the program lose... i don't care. > Another question is if Thorsten overruled book moves. how ? It runs from the cd, the original cd. I press the optimal button when my witness is in the room and watches me (in fact - he is operating fritz, i am operating the opponent, so we come good and convinient through the opening...). HOW shall i overrule the book ??? Also i can reproduce the games on any of the 3 machines i have. some moves come rarer than others, but they appear. >You can put one of these answers in each hand and look at them.

Perhaps the Fritz >guys will learn something, and perhaps those of us who use large auto-generated >books will learn something. we have done it in cstal book very good IMO. cstal will NOT play any line that leads into a loss. It knows the statistics of each position. And the sero-chances moves are locked. They will never appear because the engine begins to compute. of course the engine could compute the sero-chances moves, but than the machine would lose with or without book from this position... >Rather than impugning Thorsten I would rather try to learn something. > >bruce
