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

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.
