Subject: CM8000 opening book weak? Why?

Author: John Merlino

It has long been said that the opening book that the Chessmaster personality
uses (and has used for the last several versions) is particularly weak. Some
have called it horrible. The development team for the next version of
Chessmaster (don't laugh) has already started the process of getting the book
fixed/improved, and would like to hear your comments, if you have any.

Does anybody have any concrete evidence of any data in the opening book that is
incorrect or bad? Or of any knowledge holes in the book? If you DO have any
specific instances of bad data in the book, please let me know by e-mail (or
post here, if you aren't SURE that the moves are bad, and want your suspicions
discussed).

Many thanks,

jm
