I would just like to know in terms of rating what those 30% mean.
The question here has been if it is 100, 200 or 700 Elo, 30% could fit any of
those figures.

But if you don't have an engine to develop you are free to put all the effort
into a book.

The question for me is if developing the engine is time better spent than
manually writing a book.
I think it is, but that would depend on how much a book is worth in terms of

I guess I should have written "one might want to sell it" instead of "you
might.."
