I'm in the processing of sending you my pgn file (11M zipped) via dial-up. There are about 49K games in the book. It is named normbk00.pgn. I recommend that users use a setting of 6+ occurrences when creating books for engines/interfaces. Anything less than 6 runs a serious risk of using opening moves that are speculative. I will send you an update about every 3 months. In which case I will increment the last 2 digits on the file name. The updates will reflect additional games that were recently played and reported in TWIC or elsewhere. Norm
