Rybka cannot use that book not under chessbase so I consider it as not part of rybka'a package. I think that the ssdf should not use it in their testing of rybka when they test rybka because they should test commercial products and the combination between .ctg book and rybka is combination of 2 commercial products. I am lucky to have Fritz8 and Junior9 as chessbase engines but I simply do not care about book today and I am not going to use it. <snipped> > Rybka was already beating any engine with its own native book very >handily, so now I guess things will really get ugly.

You are wrong if you think that lack of some endgame knowledge is the only weakness of Rybka. based on my experience in correspondence games it has more weaknesses. Uri
