Jeroen's book is certainly a very good book for most engines and particularly for Rybka performing optimally. But it is not a good book for a player who intends to build its own repertoire : it s much to clearly oriented toward avoiding all the openings that most computers do play badly (and this is not surprising as it is built from 90% computer games). Just have a look and you see that Rybka will _never_ play any kind of Benoni, East-indian, Benko or Pirc opening with this book: there are whole good famed opening systems that are systematically avoided. For a player intending to broaden his own repertoire, best solutions are either building his own ctg book from good players games or buying a product that has been built this way (like chessbase Powerbooks).
