As you mentioned the book is an important part. And there are learning issues. The program with better learning functions, book learning, position learning, may win a match even if the "engine" is weaker. For people interested in analysis pure "engine" strengh is relevant. Usual computer matches give only same hints in this direction. Kind regards Bernhard
