Anybody that has downloaded my >book.bin from the last year can verify that whatever he offers as evidence is >just nonsense... Nonsense is a good word. I find books offer very little to a good chess program. I have found books I have made from Master level game play as well as Shredders' book or Fritz books. I don't think there is such a thing these days as a Killer book. Atleast not one that will maintain a higher level of performance for long. Personally I did not find anything great about Shredders book. When I played Fritz Vs. Shredder and changed books to let Fritz use Shredders book and Shredder use Fritz book. The Results were the same. Shredder wins by a slim margin.
