Even if there is no SmarThink for chessbase but it runs with an
adaptor(emulator), my tests prove that SmarThink is much stronger than when I
tested it under winboard and under Arena against Ruffian 1.0.1 and against
Pepito 1.59. The opening book of Fritz 8 does increase the strength of SmarThink
considerably, but the difference of SmarThink under Winboard with the weak
Opening Book compared to Smarthink with the adapter under Fritz 8 with
Fritz8.ctg is at least over 160 rating points. If we compare both Opening books
I don't think that Fritz8.ctg alone can influence such a rate difference, but
there are a lot of other winboard programs like Movei that reacted differently
under Chessbase GUI too.
