Sacral Hello Paul, Well to me what "does not make sense" is to create a chess program without an opening book unless you have spent a lot of time teaching your program opening theory. I don't like to give a program a book that is not provided along with the program. If an "official" book becomes available I will test again with that book. It may be interesting to see what improvement in Elo comes from it. In any case Rybka is an interesting program that is also strong. Jim
