It certainly is The King. But the real problem with CM8000 is that the King
needs a good tournement book well suited for his playing style.
If Johan De Koning is playing a tournement with the King he always uses
the famous 'Cock de Gorter' book.
I think i have that book for the king 2.5. It was downloadable at TASC
a long time ago. I don't know if it is allowed to convert this book in CM-format
without the permission from Cock.

And off course you need book learning now.

And at last .... I need The european patch !!! (sorry John to be not very
patiently)
