Yes Peter that is correct. Also I wasn't able to win a single match in the tourney we played when i was using DJ8 Zx and the default book, but when I switched to my own book, I thumped everyone and ended up first. The same when we played together, I can't beat you with the default DJ8 book when you use Deep Fritz 7 since your machine is about 20 % faster, but when I used my book again, you were owned :)untill you switched the Hashtable to 48. I wonder if there are any other reason why I was winning so easily against you or anybody else for that matter though.
