Do you mean that you have created an opening book, that is based on this PGN database and let Pro-Deo 1.0 use it when playing against Chessmaster 10000? How big is (MB's) this database? Can you e-mail it to me........? And do you suggest that this make Pro Deo 1.0 stronger? Well i don't think that this is true, as bigger book doesn't mean better. In fact i believe it is worse, as games of GM's have many bad moves at the opening and also may have moves that lead to positions that Pro Deo don't understand............ >I am wondering HOW MUCH >STRONGER all these "beautiful demonstrations" have made Prodeo, and if there is >ANYTHING more that I can do to strengthen ChessMaster? Remove all bad lines from its original book as a start............
