And avoid too many games that are blitz. (3+1, 5+2. etc.) They do not give ideal move conditions. Perhaps 2500/2550 ELO + but that is just my opinion. I try to use games that are at least as strong as the program or GM level. Did you get rid of the draws? I use several books, some with just quality computer games, one with human GM level games and one with both types in it. > >A few months ago I created a smaller book in Fritz interface (ctg format).

Append them to any empty Shredder database and save them as a Edit | select all | File | New | Create Text File | save as | .pgn. Give it a name and directory and import them into Classic. Beware that no games have illegal moves in them or you will be pressing your escape button when Classic gives you this error message. If you have too many it may unexpectedly exit the program. > >Another option is creating the book in fbk format (fritz old book format).
