Using remis.ctg as opposed to the original books don't tell me which is
stronger. Neither would this match were original books used. It isn't more
interesting. It's how they were designed to be played.

Also I see many, many posts here using remis.ctg and 2600.ctg. IMO probably 50%
of the time because those people don't actually own the programs. That's more
the reason why people use these books, they are accepted as good and the excuse
that the programs are then equal or we can see the true strength are simply that
excuses for why the original books are not used.
