Sorry, but I do not agree...It depends how the book is made. >Chrilly Donninger writes that Hydra's book is 150 KByte large and contains only >solid main lines up to around move 10. If a book is really sound, it would be better than this solution. Of course if the program taking over is weaker it would loose anyway. The "solution" of cutting the lines was made to avoid weak moves later in the variations, and this can be done easily, but best would be to have a good book without weak moves in the lines...it is possible. >Kind regards >bernhard Sandro
