If your book is the weakest part, you may actually play better without it... :) >I expect a victory of DIEP. I've played numerous games with Tiger 11.4 to 11.7, all of which had an extremely small book. In most cases, Tiger was out of book at moves 4-6. Still it managed to make it to the top in every tournament I played. So playing with no book at all may actually be good for Tiger, given that the clear majority of losses from the 11.8.2 version (Paderborn, French CC, my own tourneys) were due to bad book lines. Sorry Vincent, call me prejudiced, but I think Tiger will win. Clearly. --- Shep
