Firstly it was me who ran The Great CM9000 Showdown. Secondly no book was used and each setting played all others once with White and once with Black. If you used an opening book, results would of course vary as circumstances were not identical for each setting that you used (even if they were all Default) due to having different positions coming out of the openings. Therefore my challenge to you is to rerun your tournament at a decent time control with NO opening book and with each setting (all Default) playing each other twice. Regards, Graham.
