On reviewing my prior "blurb" on this topic I noted that the blurb could
be generalized to cover repertoires where one has alternative moves to
try from a given position in the current repertoire.  I don't beleive
that this generalization would invalidate the conclusions.  However,
programmers should accommodate the possibility of one having more than
one planned move for a given position.

For example, in the position after 1.e4, it might be a good idea to play
different moves from time to time, including 1...e6, 1...e5, 1...c5,
etc.  This could either be treated as separate repertoires or as a
single repertoire with multiple prepared moves for the same position.

Indeed, one could combine all of one's repertoires into one giant
collection of positions with you-to-move combined with one or more
prepared moves for each position.  This "giant" repertoire would
encompass all of one's White and Black repertoires.  It really boils
down to having a set of positions coupled with one or more planned ways
to handle the position.
