Hi Mike

I don't have Bookup, but i think i can mark the moves using the search and
replace feature of my text editor. This will also require splitting into
white.pgn and black.pgn. All of the moves for the selected grandmaster will get
marked. It shouldn't take over 30 minutes to create a book using this method.
I'm not sure what you mean by most common moves. Bookup must have a feature that
identifies the most common moves?

Dave
