Thanks for the interesting response Mike. I am always looking for better ways to improve my game, whether it be with chess software, chess books or even chess videos. And I appreciate it all the more when a program author takes the time to respond to my questions about this or that product. I like Bookup a lot:) But I hope that's not too much of an add for your program, knowing how commercial postings are objected to here. mrslug - the chess software addict!
