Hi Graham

Glad i was able to be of some help. Incidently, it is very easy to create your
own custom .ctg book from a collection of high quality games. For example, a
nice collection of recent grandmaster can be found here ...

http://www.playwitharena.com/directory/user.htm#pgn-random

I would recommend deleting all games with 30 moves or less before creating the
book, to avoid the possibility of obvious drawish lines.

Regards
Dave
