and all follow-ups to it.

I think a good opening book should have the following:

1.  The position in compacted binary form (which should be indexed)
2.  The won/loss/draw statistics
3.  Predicted move (if any)
4.  The Computer evaluation in centipawns (if any)
5.  The GM evaluation (if any... in the form of ??, ?, ?!, !?, !, !!)
6.  Avoid move (if any)
7.  Best move (if any)

I also think that the book should be updateable on the fly, so that you can both
read and write to it as the program runs.

You may want to also create a hash index.
