It's a giant opening book compiled from a database of games by players rated over 2200 with short draws removed. It can therefore be used by *any* chess program capable of accessing the book -- Fritz5.32, Junior5, Nimzo99, Hiarcs7.32, or any of the myriad Winboard-compatible engines that either come with the programs or are available for download. However, be aware that no effort was made to delete lines that computers may find uncongenial (closed positions or strategy-based openings), nor was consideration given to the "quality" of play other than the players' ratings (e.g. if a 2500 player offered an opening that just plain sucks, it'll be in the book). The Powerbook is intended to be a training tool for human players looking for a greater variety of play from their computerized sparring partner. >If not, and you're geting >good results with this combo, what is the procedure for doing this? It can be loaded and/or copied to disk just like any other opening book. But be aware that this thing is *huge* -- around 650 MB. -- Steve Lopez
