Hi Jeroen,

Now you're really bringing back memories! I might be oversimplifying things by
saying the Latvian was Richard's favorite (though I recall it was), perhaps you
had something to do with that? That must have been alot of fun working on those
World Championship efforts. According to the "schachcomputer.info" web site, the
book in the Berlin Pro is bigger than in the Berlin or Vancouver. But the Berlin
Pro definitely likes the Latvian. :)

Glad to see your enjoying the games; and I hope the Berlin Pro will uncork some
more gems before the tourney is over!

Happy New Year!!

Chuck
