And now I am wondering about the opening book.

Considering that using the default opening book CM8000, the program
with Black was always having to come from behind and failed with
Black to win a single time out of 4 games, I thought I'd try a
different book.
So, using the same personality (Chessmaster), I changed to the
Fischer book and played 2 games Berlin v Chessmaster at G/30
with CM8000 playing Black both games. CM8000 came out of book
both times with almost an even evaluation score and won both
games convincingly. I know that these are far too small a number
of games to prove anything, but when 4 failures with one book
are followed by 2 solid wins with a different book, it makes
me wonder.
