I purchased Fritz 8 with the opening book package. I assumed when it installed they would work together but that was wrong on my part. I just found the section in Fritz 8 to import opening book. When Fritz 8 had accused me of turning the book off I was not sure what it meant. Still learning how to run the software to play the best game. I appreciate the kinder ways of being told something is not right. Richard
