I believe that is bullshit. 2000 moves per hour = 33 moves per minute = one move every two seconds. You do _not_ prepare a good book at that speed. That is roughly human typing speed, _not_ human "preparing a good opening book speed." Please stop making up ridiculous numbers and then quoting them as true values given by someone else. Alex can certainly reply here but I am certain he won't verify your numbers. _I_ did a manual book for Cray Blitz for _years_. I did good to enter a few _lines_ per hour (verifying them at each move).
