Hello Dann,
I think I read about this many years ago.  I think this automatic tuning goes
way back to Deep Thought in the early days.  Maybe Bob can elaborate.  It seems
the first time I read about this they would let the program analyze 1000 GM
games and tune itself to match the most moves of the GM's or something like
that.  Is this correct?
Jim
