The first problem is who should create that book and who should validate it? I
suppose it is feasible to construct something that the author would approve.

The second problem is the performance of such a book. If it does well, people
will complain that it is better than the original Chessmaster book. If it does
poorly, people will complain that the original Chessmaster book is better. In
short that it isn't a faithful test of the product in question. Especially since
Chessmaster owners cannot download and use the book.

My solution is bullying Johan until he makes a version capable of using
Chessmaster books outside the CM GUI :-). Petition anyone? ;-)
