Thanks for rubbing that in!

Also thanks to the Hydranians, for letting me start with the full
90 minutes (rather than the 53 that were left), despite my warning
of imminient regret.

I played with the default book of (soon to be realeased) Chessmaster X.
It used to be maintained by (the famous GM) Larry Evans.

Note1: I do not know what kind of maintenance that was. I *guess*
his goal was to cover human theory (which is practice :-) as wide
as possible. John Merlino knows more, and if he's bored enough he
might dig up a few anecdoetes. :-)

Note2: I do not know if it has been maintained since late 2002.

Note3: My code scans the entire book for transpositions, finding
moves in lines that the CM GUI would never see. That is probably
not a good idea, since those moves could never have been reported
as bugs.
