Hi Marc, By curiosity are you the book builder of Fruit 2.1's small_book.bin? I would like to say that I find this little book quite solid despite its size. In my own testing (done for fun, blitz control, few games - nothing serious here), I rarely see Fruit 2.1 (or other uci-engine that I endowed with that book, doing bad after the book ends). Small but solid. I could be wrong (because I don't use chessbase interface very often), but I noticed that Fruit 2.1 is doing better with small_book.bin than fruit_ASv3.ctg against Fritz 8 (again maybe I don't have enough games here to say something serious - this is just my impression). An exeption might be the following line: 1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4 3. e4 Nc6 4. Be3 Nf6 5. Nc3 e5 6. d5 Na5 7.Nf3 Bd6 8. Qa4 bd7 9. Qa5 a6!? and then white (i.e. fruit 2.1) is bookless against Prodeo (which might have one of the best "amateur" book - if we agree that Prodeo is an "amateur" program). This is a tricky line. PS: (If your are the author..) Is the original pgn from small_book.bin available? (I don't expect so.) Thanks and good luck with Fruit 2.2,
