I have already posted the data! It is on this site, If people disagree with my
data and conclusions post your own data and conclusion to refute it.  So far I
have seen none that do. I did my work, now do yours. If my data is wrong, that
can only be shown by posting other data from other power books, or better yet
have Thorsten post the moves and the percentage of all the moves in the games
for the tournament from the opening book. And see if my conclusions still holds
up. My book is not different from Thorstens, I know of only one power book. If I
am wrong and Thorsten’s power book shows that Fritz 5 played the best moves and
there is no pattern of low percentage moves being played over higher percentage
moves played. Then show me the data that refutes it. Thorsten has seen my data,
and commented on it. He knows what I have posted. If he disagrees with my data
and conclusion or anyone else does. Post your data and finding to refute mine. I
bet Thorsten won’t because it will show the same pattern I showed. So I say
again show me the data that refutes my data and conclusions. If you can't or
won't do it. Then there is not much more to say.
