From what the Chessmaster team gathers (they do not actually KNOW), Johan had a
special anti-computer book created that takes other engines out of book early
and favors The King's playing style. This is only conjecture/rumor, however, and
Johan has not said one way or another.

Consequently, it would not necessarily be a "better" book for inclusion into the
Chessmaster program.
