But a shame as so much good work is cancelled (The amazing performance of the King will be lost). Do you think it's a good idea to use remis-book for Chessmaster-9000? I don't find the choice bad, but a book that created from drawn GM's games, doesn't seem the most suitable choice for a program, which will play against other that have opening books optimized for their playing style. Maybe Shredder7.ctg or Fritz8.ctg is better? (I don't know if this is true) By the way with what opening book "The-King" played at Leiden?
