I have a book made here that is larger than 1 gb. So it is not a ChessBase
limitation. The book grows larger if you add positions that are not in the book
yet. At a certain point all positions known in chess theory will be in the book,
at that point it won't get much larger anymore. You can try to increase the
length of the variations you store in the book.
