If you have enough grand master games in a database make your own Book.  You can
use pgn, new chessbase, and the old chessbase files.  Hell you can even use
Rebels book and convert them. I have just used the Rebel EOC database to make an
opening for all the Fritz family to use!!  And I may add it is over a
megabyte...... Wow should be good enough to play and play and play.  Notice I
did not say it was any good, its just big?

Leads me onto the latest match between two computers Nimzo 7.32 which was using
this big book?  against Fritz 7.32, which was using the F5.ctg

Score Fritz 9½  Nimzo 8½  I think if it ran one more game these scores would be
tied??  Stopped it here so fritz wins??
