Hi Uri,
  Are the power books that you are referring to the new " Power Books 99? The-
Power books 99 claim to be much better than the old one because they removed all
non-master games, and all games the were very short wins! This made P.books 99-
smaller but much more accurate than the old power books were. Plus, the games
are supposed to be of a higher quality! There are several people from here that
spoke highly of these Power Books 99 and had no complaints!!

Regards,Terry
