You get a pre-compiled book from thousands of games, then weighted to suit Shredder's style in a general way. Even with Fritz you do not get Kure's books. Again just a generated book weighted towards Fritz's style of play. Same as Junior, Hiarcs, and Tiger when it was released as a CB engine. Sandro's book is very different. It is made with Shredder is mind, and only Shredder. It is _much_ better than the CB book. There really is no comparison. Peter
