Can you tell me which program you have in mind that can play better without
opening book. I can test your program movei with Dann Opening book, versus movei
without an opening book. I will not expect more than 45% out of 40 games for
Movei W/O Opening against Movei with Opening. Now is there any other program
that you have in mind?
