Subject: To Mike Byrne - about cracking

Author: Mihaly Szalai

Mike,

what is the difference between cracking TheKing.exe and the
CM9000 opening books? You don't have any objection about the
latter, you even tried it yourself... (see your post below).
Please, be more consistent.

Mihaly

PS. Btw. the deadking patch changes only one byte in TheKing.exe...
PPS. I meant no offence.
