What about the "tasc database as an opening book" issue, in other words, to have Chessmaster use the "database findings" like an opening book? I've seen then and when CM being out of it's book and at the same time the database findings still provided useful move statistics from many master games. CM could use these like an opening book (maybe as an additional option, or adjustable). IIRC, that was how the tasc base program used to do it btw when playing a game. Now, these infos are displayed for the user, but CM itself doesn't utilize it for it's own play. I think this could really be an improvement, and shouldn't be too difficult to implement (as you have the database findings feature already). Furthermore, the benefit could even be bigger when the game collection is enlarged and updated either by you, or even by the users themselves. Or they could use special databases for that purpose, i.e. computer chess games when The King plays against another engine. Regards, M.Scheidl
