How about replaying the games without any opening books. Lets see how strong the programs real logic really are. If a program is designed well, it can play a strong game without outside help. I always thought that opening books are fine for a person who wants to play certain books to improve their game and in personal use opening books are fine, but in tourneyments, they should be turned off. Your example where one program won without leaving its opening book is just not any indicator of the programs true strength, it only shows that its opening books were better. I hope that if other people read this post, they will agree. Thanks for the work and time you spent on the testing. Bill Rogers
