Hallo Mel,

I think Powerbooks-99 is okey also for Hiarcs. P-99 gives a very good varity
of openings. The size of it speaks for itself -513MB! Together with the
Fritz program I have different openingbooks (trees)for example KingsIndian,
French, Kingsgambit, Steve Lopez -sorry I mean Ruy of course!-and also
Fritz Power
books-99. The procedure for loading P-99 to Hiarcs is very simple.
Just activate your Hiarcs program. Then Book-load book - and choose P-99.
I could add that my special openingbooks are trees constructed by selected
games in Database Big-99 /the one which follows Chessbase/. For example
French -C00-C19.

By the way-has anybody tested to change the playing style for Hiarcs from
"normal" to "aggressive"? I'm a bit curious of the effect!

Regards
Sune
