I got the book, and some moderate inconclusive testing was done with it. In other words, several games at different time controls with the Chessmaster personality playing itself, with the only difference being one using the default book and the other using your book, was, statistically speaking, a draw. The development team is not in the habit of tweaking any opening books themselves, as none of them are really qualified "experts" in opening theory. Usually, they hire a GM to do it (and, by the way, GM Larry Evans is almost certainly going to do the new book for the next version of Chessmaster). So, as far as I know, apart from the testing, nothing further was done with your book. jm
