There were other opening lines in __________________________________________________________ Hello Terry, What do you mean reset the tree? You copy the opening book tree onto the hard drive and that should be all you need to do. I have seen Hiarcs 7.32 play bad openings because it is part of the book moves and at tournament level. I agree with the post above about Fritz F5 Book CTG being better than Hiarcs. I think the opening book in Hiarcs allows too much variety. I have examples of only about 8 moves and Hiarcs position is severely weakened - a BIG passed pawn in the center! The problem, I believe, is there are too many variations allowed. I think the Fritz book is more limited and plays openings better suited for Fritz's playing style. I do not consider the opening book in Hiarcs to be of tournament level - just my opinion.
