     It does seem that CM6K has a weak, and I suppose small, opening
     book. Mindscape does'nt seem to be preoccuppied with playing
     strength. Although CM comes out of the opening badly, it seems
     to have a way of turning things around to a winning game. CM7 is
     said to be coming out later this year, maybe they'll get it
     together a bit better this time around. Surely from a business
     standpoint they would put a bigger and stronger book in their
     program. A lot of us chess program hobbyists would rush to buy
     CM if it suddenly came in 50 or more points ahead of it's nearest
     rival on SSDF.
          Having said this, I still think CM gives the best value for
     your chess program buck out of all of them.
