To Wael Deeb about his Arena book

Hi Wael,
In SzG Swiss, List plays under Arena and uses the book you created. I noticed that it uses only strange lines (e.g. 1. f4 or 1. Nc3 or 1. d4 Nf6 2. f3) and gets out of book very soon.
This may even be harmful compared to not having a book at all.
Is this intended or simply bad luck?
Regards,
Gábor

Hi,
Yes,there was some kind of mistakes when I built my Power Book for the first time!For about month and a half I reduced it's size and made a big improvment in it considering the elimination of bad lines!
I can send you via e-mail the new much improved Power_Book!
Here are two examples:
1.List 5.12_PrBk playing in my beta testing BasicLeague for Patriot!
2.Gk 0.90i_PrBk playing in my BasicLeague_006
Both engines play with my improved Power Book!
I will senfd this new version of my Power Book to Frank soon!
Regards,
Dr.WAEL DEEB

Thank you, Wael, you needn't send me the new book because I decided that it would be unfair to the other engines if List played with a new book against them (4 games played, 5 remaining).
Best wishes,
Gábor
