That was a misunderstanding. I was indeed completely unsure about what Bob might
like to call Crafty's birthday, but when it is about the book question I just
couldn't answer it when you asked me because there was a game running (if I
remember it right at least ;) ).

Crafty's main book ( default book) consisted of 50620 unique positions.

The repertoire book consisted of 19371 unique positions.

So my guess was way off.
