If you look carefully, you will find every variation from MCO10, which I typed in by hand all by myself. You will find a lot from MCO11/12, plus BCO, ECO and other stuff typed in by Gower. Those are not games... there is _nothing_ there to indicate which lines were good and bad... so you will get _killed_ with that. We used to manually ass ! and ? to the lines we wanted to play/avoid in CB, but I stripped all that out when I first worked on Crafty's book... that book will have you playing lots of totally random stuff that will get you in a world of trouble...
