What about the possibility to tune the engine like it is possible in
Chessmaster/King and some other programs?

And, additional, I'd like to see several different opening books:
a) computer book, optimized for the engine
b) tournament book for general use/training, including actual theory
which may contain actual lines that are not well handled by the engine
c) fun book for opening training, containing weak moves where the user
can and should try to find a good way to win but if he makes some weaker
moves he'll get blown
d) a Gambit-book with several harsh lines (including incorrect lines,
but only if the user finds or knows the correct answer).

So all different interests should be handled.
What about it, Ed?
