I noticed it when playing. There are very big differences, specially in the
finetuning of the eval and the openingbook.

These take so much time, that it's almost impossible for an amateur to keep up.

You can even see the splitup among the amateurs, amateurs working solo and the
ones working with more people ( or at least having a professionel book, tester).
