This does not work. It may appear to work fine, but that's because it's probably
playing moves from the default CM9000.obk book. I tried it myself, with an .abk
book i created myself, without any moves past depth 5. Yet book moves up to
depth 20 were played. So changing the file extension of an Arena .abk book to
.obk WILL NOT WORK in Chessmaster 9000.
