Using the CM9000 and CM10th books under Chessbase

[Graham Banks]

I have a way that properly prioritises moves as under the CM GUI. If you're interested, email me.

Please read through these updated instructions. If you haven't followed them
precisely, you're best to delete your CM10th book from Chessbase/Books and redo
the process. Your ctg book should be 16,688 kb if you've done things properly.


Put OPK2PGN.exe and cmx.opk into My Documents folder.

Start menu/Run, type cmd, press enter (box pops up)

Type cd my documents, press enter

Type obk2pgn cmx.obk cmx.pgn, press enter

Wait until Phase 2 of 2 has finished, then close box

Open Fritz. New/opening book, Chessbase/Books folder, give name CM10th, okay

Edit/opening books/import games, select cmx.pgn from My Documents folder
(absolute length, 100, tick variations), enter

CM10th opening book is created under Fritz for your use!

NOTE : because the book is converted into one game with any variations, once you
load the book, under book options you should set the minimum games played to 1
in order to allow all sensible moves to be played (that is all moves with either
!!, ! or uncommented). Moves with question marks will not be played as book
moves.
