That is interesting since >mentor.obk is deeper than cm6000.obk, i guess cm6000.obk is mostly mainlines >while mentor.obk plays other not so viable lines?. But this doesn't explain it clearly. The Nunn test is constructed so that the programs/players start at these positions WITHOUT further use of opening books so it should make no difference if you "use" mentor or cm6k.obk because they should be disabled. The reason for this discrepancy CAN be that they were not disabled. >>So in the Nunn test yo should get almost the same results or do you play the >>Nunn positions still with book use? AFAIK that is not the aim of that test.
