The opening book that comes with cm is pretty lame. If you could send me the book via pm , that would be most appreciated

Weird, I heard that the success CM had on imitating GM play was for its excellent books for their personalities.

It sounds as if their books are now just pretty old and outdated.

they do have a variety of books that look interesting. The main book just does nto have sufficient depth and variety to be used as a resource.

Hi Joseph,

I seem to recall that these books don't work with later versions?

I have not yet tried to assign the book to a personality, but i can say that the books can be viewed in the cm opening editor, which is promising
