Perhaps CM >could market thier equivalent to chessbase for a cheaper price with the >described feature and I would buy it!! Who wouldnt? Alex. CM9000 already does save all tournament games to a PGN file. The PGN file will be in the same directory as the CMT file, and will be named the same as the CMT file except with a PGN extension. As for the opening book stuff, I doubt that the editor has been improved as far as functionality. I'm sure it has been reworked to fit the new GUI, but I would be (pleasantly) surprised if there were new features in it. jm
