Hello,

since I'm not able to convert the CM 9000 books to any other format,
I downloaded the CM books from here:
ftp://ftp.ubisoft.com/games/chessmaster/other/cmbooks.zip

After that I converted them to mvs format with a utility named
fgcrw (make a net search).
Then I created a new book in Fritz and imported all the converted
CM books into it.
This is a pretty good book (with 1843807 positions), I always use it
when I run The King under Fritz.

You should give it a try.
