Hi, this is interesting, but testing one program against another one giving selected positions does not give a true figure of the programs strenght, in my opinion. The reason why I have been working so long, and still am, on the books is that some programs like some positions and do not like others. This is why even the best program cannot play best in all positions and one needs to have at least the best 4 (in my opinion) if using them to test/check positions to get the most from chess programs. If the selected positions are more suiting the style of one program than the other chess program than the first one may win, but the real test (to me) is to test them with their own books as the opening book is part of the program; a very important part. To test with a different book and/or with a book we should not use the same name as well as it would be like test the Ferrari with the engine made for another car or a different shape...it is not the Ferrari anymore... This is my opionion based on my experience. Sandro
