I played with it in the past at Playchess 9 games and i noticed that in the 2 of them my engine lost, due to a bad line from the book. So i abandoned it for playing games with engines. The book is really huge, it is 1.08 GB while Fritz's, Shredder's, etc books are around 245 MB. Probably with a good optimization it can be a very good book, but this is not easy to be done.........
