>That means that program A will have a much larger "disaster bank" for a fail-low >than program B does. But since Program A is using book moves, the chance of it having a disadvantage is much higher than Program B, since A has no control of the moves selected by the book. So as a partial conclusion I may say: 1.- Having a bad book is worse than having no book. 2.- Having a book is risky if you end on a bad line, but it will give you time advantage. 3.- Book Learning is more important that some suppose, but Hash size its pretty handy. 4.- The best thing to do it's to make a Custom book for each engine so everyone has a book and once they get out of it they're happy with their position. Now, go read a book! :)
