Yes, these long strings are actually data errors that (from what I've been told -- probably because the source of many of the opening books is lost to the ages) cannot be fixed but SHOULDN'T crash the program. Mentor.obk has not changed over the last several versions of Chessmaster, which is why you are getting similar results. However, the data errors were found and the program was fixed so that the Chessmaster 8000 (supposedly) wouldn't crash. Previous versions of Chessmaster WILL crash the opening book editor, but shouldn't be any problem during gameplay (if someone actually DID use that book to play). jm
