This helps me find positions that my evaluation function likes better >when I'm out of book. That's interesting. Does the program only consider book moves for the move list to search? I don't know of any other program that does this. I'm sure some would say that programs are not good at choosing opening lines, unless they are tactically defective lines to start with, and so the computer would avoid them. I think Bob Hyatt has some automated way of creating books specifically for special event play (like CCT5), which is a different (better?) book than is used normally by Crafty on ICC. MH > >Matt
