It builds it's opening book from pgn files - so no shortage of them on the web. If you are not too worried about the odd blunder just throw a selection together - worked for me. If you want strong opening play - then stick with GM games. Put the pgn as book.pgn in your current directory, run gnuchess, type book compile. At least it sacrifices 4 Nf7 - so it isn't a boring petroff if it is white. Simon
