Those annotations were made by several different people. I don't have all of the details, but some of the earliest ones were by GM Yasser Seirawan. All of the ones that were new for CM8000 and CM9000 were by GM Larry Evans. And, yes, we just kept expanding on the library of games. However, I believe that CM5000 had only about 100-300 games, where as CM9000 has almost 900 games. We tried to add at least 100 with each new version. That did make it harder to find which ones were new, I'll admit. jm
