Darn good performance by Spike so far. You must have gotten the special spike book from the authors, right?

I don't think it's an official book, but it sure seems good. I downloaded it from some website, think it was Poland or something like that. The name, as you can see above, is SpikeTurnPH-Book.scb.

Final results after 150 of 150 games (50 rounds):

38.0 Rybka 2.3.2a
27.0 Spike 1.2 Turin
25.0 Naum 2.2
23.5 Hiarcs X54 Hypermodern
22.0 Bright 0.3b
14.5 Pharaon 3.5.1

Congratulations to Rybka! And to Spike for a great performance.

May be it was a book from Pavel?

[beachknight]

Yep, Tony. I thought so.
