I don't actually remember by now why I no longer have a copy. But I'm quite sure that you can compile an opening book for that program. As it stands now without an opening book you are weekening the program because it is useing alloted time to calculate out those opening moves and that time could be better spent calculating moves later in the game. So you should look into getting an opening book for TCB if you like it. Pete
