I agree there. Mainly the Power Book (or other opening books for Fritz), is an excellent research tool. Just hit f11, then click on the moves leading to your favorite opening variation. The program gives you extensive statistics about which moves are played and how often. Then when you are ready to test, hit f11 again and start playing your moves against the program. Hit space bar to Force Fritz (or Junior, or whatever engine), to change sides. Use the 'takeback arrow box', to take back a move & replace with another try - Very convienent! I must say, I'm still trying to figure out what the main advantage of BookUp is. I've recently become enamered by this program as well, since you are entering in the game moves to manuelly build your own tree. I don't know. They are both great!? mrslug - the chess software addict!
