I for one, agree with Stephen here. Testing engines with different books is completely valid, in fact most authors would insist you use "their" book. And 40/40 is speed chess. Contrary to the opinion of others in this forum, in such games time is too often a factor in the play. In such cases I don't think you're accurately evaluating the strategic capabilities of an engine, and I strongly prefer much longer time controls. 40/40 is just beginning to get into the acceptable time range. I want to know the strength of an engine at playing chess, not managing time. There will be those that disagree with me; I guess I'm enough of an independent thinker that it doesn't change my mind. Cheers, Chuck
