Therefore, no general opening book should be longer than 10 moves. But certain program benefit from such opening book like Slowchess 2.94. PS: I did noticed that Slowchess 2.94 doesn't play those opening lines automatically, but instead it take a couple of seconds checking to see if the next move will place Slowchess into deeper trouble or it will benefit from using the provided line of the Mainbook of Harry Schapp. I don't know how many programs check for a few seconds before it decide to use or not to use x Opening move lines. >I am using the Mainbook by Harry Schnapp for SlowChess 2.94 and Movei is using >its own Opening Book. > >Rank Engine Score Sl Mo S-B >1 Movei00_8_251s 8.5/16 .......0=1=1=01=01=0=1= 12.25 >1 Slow 7.5/16 1=0=0=10=10=1=0=....... 12.25 > > >16 of 20 games played >Tournament start: 2004.10.10, 20:52:20 >Latest update: 2004.10.15, 13:48:56 >Site/ Country: S0025128408, United States >Level: Blitz 90/1 >Hardware: AMD Athlon(tm) Processor 1202 MHz >Operating system: Microsoft Windows 2000 Build 2195 >PGN-File: C:\Program Files\Arena\Arena.pgn >Table created with: Arena 1.092
