 By the way, do you know who made the annotations at Chessmaster's historical
games? Was only one person or more.......? Chessmaster's library and annotated
games is one of the most brilliant things about Chessmaster.......Too  bad that
from 5000 to 9000 it had almost the same games......
 And also although very rare i have found some mistakes with todays engine's
help, in some comments on the annotations....
