Not only does the Fritz GUI manage the book aggressively but this can also be further fine tuned by the player to adjust the weights based on as many (or few) repeats of the position as the player desires and to the ply depth specified by the player as well. Also, the ability to actually import the games with full analysis into the opening book is invaluable especially after learning from the database and importing the priority analysis for the lines. And if that isnt enough the player can always go into the book manually and set the weights even higher to force fritz to play the line each time that particular position repeats itself. As one who makes many books for use on the server I am forced to agree that these abilities will grant at least the 20 elo if not more. Charles
