I've also sent email to Volker asking for clarification. It seems to me that the "Junior.ctg", "Shredder.ctg" are pretty generic. Even if they are ruled out, I would still prefer to build my own book using the Chessbase GUI. The Lokasoft book building options are not very good IMO. Arena looks ok, but it too has less functionality that the Chessbase and I've heard that there is no support for transpositions. Perhaps Volker can be convinced to allow a more flexible approach to the opening, ie. you can play the opening manually using a book in whatever private format you want, and only after that the engine must start to kibitz pv's, etc. Vas
