Hello Wael,
ad 1): I agree. Every Opening book contains bad lines.
ad 2): It is not easy to compare the quality of opening books. I would not run
matches of an engine against itself with different books to prove that one book
is better than the other. Between the lines there is your next try to insult
Harry. Concerning the downloads he gave an explanation. I can accept this
explanation. Of course you need not accept this explanation. But that gives you
not the right to insult him. You should not do that.
ad 3) and 4) : Every contribution is welcome for me
Regards
Dieter
