The result was a little disappointing and I must say that 1) I will wondered how you got this book. However, my question is: if you declare that the book has "a lot of lines that worth analyzed" ( ???? I dont how because this book was created in 2 hours), I could conclude a very different thing: You are begin very sarcastic saying that this book is a researched book coming from ".... a super strong Fide Master .... " I could assure that Vincent Diepeveen, a strong player, would never create such book with irregular openings including the move 1. Nh3. 2) How can you test a book with a mere time of 5minutes and how can you draw definitive conclusions considerin the book used for the Match and the time setup? Also, could any engine of 1995 have any possibility against Ruffian, an engine of 2003? Because, again, how did you get the last Diep Version 2.XXX from 2001?
