Hi all, One of the big TODOs on my list is work on my engine's opening book. Right now its automatically generated based on some PGN games I got from the 'net. While I'm certainly no expert (I'm in fact terrible at chess) I'd like concentrate on one opening at a time and tune the way that opening is played to benefit the machine. For example I already try to avoid kid and benko openings because I've found the engine does not play them well. Despite what people say about the Benoni I think it does ok with that one. What I'd like to do is play a bunch of (rated or unrated) games with some engine on ICC that's around the same strength as mine using the same opening. Steffen and I did this at one point with the Alekhine's and I think it was beneficial for us both. If anyone's interested, let me know. Also any other ideas about book tuning would be appreciated! Scott
