Kurt,

I know there is something very wrong. What are your book settings in the fritz8
gui? Any other settings that you use?

I was running TheKing3.23 v TheKing3.33 with the same book for both engines. I
had book learning on, tournament book on, minimum variety of openings. Clearly,
I maximized the possibilities for duplicates.
