Your idea is very good. In fact it would show
which improvements an ENGINE really made. But
your idea is not new. Mr Wiesenecker from Austria
already played quite a few tournaments without
books a long time ago. Sorry to say so, go
to gambitsoft.com to find details. To tell
you the truth, it is just 1 o'clock in the
morning here, and I am too lazy to to look up
the same links again and again. We have some
Wiesenecker tournament on our page and
we have a link to Wiesenecker on our page!
Best Bert!
