What if someone shows that in particular openings, CM would repeat the same
moves and lose the same games over and over.  But with the CB GUI, which does
the learning for it, it doesn't repeat the openings and does much better.  Is
that a function of Chessmaster's play?  Or the GUI's opening selection and
learning.  It is way too fuzzy and imprecise, IMHO.

This entire idea about sharing books or book authors has more holes than a
mall full of Swiss Cheese.
