Yeah - I've been working several years with this "PowerBook" and "Powerbase".
Don't like duplicates in any form or short draws in this context. I usually
upgrade with corr-games > 2200 during the year - but OTB-games once a year.
Sources are ICCF, IECC, IECG, national corr-tourneys, CB:s MegaBase + own
findings. Previously I also used Ajedrez and the Argentinian Partidas Gratis.
Looks like the latter ended the upgrades jan-05 though. Sad, because they
presented CB-quality. Link:

I don't do engine-engine matches - but use this "PowerBook" when I play myself
vs engines. It presents a tough, massive wall of knowledge...Since I'm no longer
a tournament player myself (have no time for that) - this is of course a real
challenge, considering my own very rusty repertoir...;-)
