In this case, at least, the opening book is not the problem. The move 10.0-0-0
is the first move AFTER leaving Chessmaster's book, and CM gives it a score of
0.30 for White. CM would have switched to 10.Bd2 after 2:32 on my PIII-733, if
the time control had allowed (and it didn't).

See this post (www.chessusa.com/forums/1/message.shtml?173153) for all of my
findings about this game (nothing very interesting, just some notes, really)....
