Subject: Powerbook 2004 (just a thought)

So the latest version of Chessbase's "powerbook" has been released on DVD? It
must be one mammoth file if it won't fit on a CD. But it's no big deal creating
a huge openings book. I have the Megabase, and if I set the right parameters I
would have no trouble generating an opening book that's 2 GB, 5 GB, 10 GB or
bigger.

My thought is... is an openings book that big really worth it? It just sounds
sloppy to me. I don't think it has any instructional value if it hasn't been
trimmed better. Give me Sandro Necchi's fine tuned opening books any day.
