Of course, it depends how the book is made. This answer is trivial. We may assume that a GM like M. Adams knows his lines very well, but in his first game against Hydra he met a new move 14.Rb1 instead of the usual 14.a4. 14.Rb1 was found by Hydra. > >>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.

Yeah, a good book without weak moves would be best. Trivial too. If we had a *very* good book, we wouldn't need an engine. Solving the book problem sounds like solving chess. You think it is possible? May be, but with a lot of work. > >>Kind regards >>bernhard > >Sandro Bernhard
