Which is the best Arena book to use with Rybka ?

[Dr.Wael Deeb]

Arena Main book is a generic opening book with wild variety which is not a good approach for a specific engine style.....Bottom line

.. descisions about strength cannot be answered by opinion. These things are answered by facts.

This is not a decision about strength. It is a poll about opinions. Opinions of very respected, chess enthusiastic people from all over the world which I think their opinions, to me, is the next best thing to a large multi million games study done by Harvard. This is how much I respect and trust opinions and experiences from the people in this forum.

While your at it, can you please give us some facts about the subject? I think people will continue to ask about opinions, from trusted people, until there is a clear-cut facts to see.

And until then, your opinion does count.

How's the old poll going.....

Are we finding something out yet?

To clear up: The Rybka book is also a general book and has very
few to do with Rybka's kind of play!

No Harry,you're definitely wrong here,it's optimized for the Rybka playing style matching it's playing strength in the middle game.....

I guess there is only one way to find out which abk is better for Rybka's style of play, and that is to let them play against each other.
The one which performs better is the best suited for Rybka's style of play.
Since there are only two books who are fighting for the title, Harry Schnapp and Dr. Wael Deeb books, it is also most logical to end this once and for all.
All this voting makes no sence, as one of the contenders will always say that his book is better than the other one.
It is time to end this.
