Nice theory which should not fit to experienced WB users though.
I admit that I hadnt used Arena for a while because I am quite
happy with WB.
IMHO one of the biggest advantages is the output like time usage
and search depth directly into the pgn if it would not have it
we never had detected why Sjeng was slaughtered by Yace in this match ;)
Nevertheless I will give it a try again when the book features
are implemented in it because then I am able to use UCI only ones
and TheKing running _with_ books which is not possible under WB.
I suppose you will start again with book building business then,
creating Mogens Arena books :-)
