Ok, I think I've identified the "weights" which seem to be numbers in the range of -125 to 125. What values should these weights be set to so that moves are chosen based on a user specified percentage? For instance, for a set of 4 possible moves I want 40, 30, 20, and 10 percent respectively as the frequencies at which these moves are chosen. I've fiddled around with the weights and the "book options", but can't for the life of me figure out the relationship between these weights and selection frequencies (it's not any intuitive 1:1 or 1:n).
