Subject: Adding new book lines to Crafty

It seems that my book has a few major holes, particularly with the Evans
Gambit and King's Gambit. What is the best way to add new lines to crafty's
book?

All I did to make my book was medium with all of Kasparov's games and
RJF's games. But I'm thinking adding more human games may not be the best
for crafty. Perhaps a better "computer" book could be devised.

And I'm still not convinced that some sort of Monte Carlo analysis wouldn't
greatly benefit crafty's endgame. Especially if you used the endgames
typically reached in actual computer verus computer, and computer verus
strong human player.

Idle computer time could be used to generate an analysis of the targetted
end games. Then, when logging onto FICS or whatever, the new endgame
data will improve crafty's game long before the TB's come into effect.
