I've played a bullet tournament to test different books for Yace and GLC.
In short and sharp: all books are equal what's a little bit disappointing from the book creator's point of view.

Well, it isn't that discouraging from my point of view. In my view blitz or bullet timecontrols evens out book disadvantages to a large extent. If I had a spare computer it would be interesting to double the time alotted a couple of times to see if things change. But all in all I'm quite satisfied. ""Best"" book for Yace and GLC with a lower percentage of draws. Closer to jumping with joy than suicidal . Thank you for running the tournament. Very interesting indeed.
