By including 1.000 mini-books for those positions. Or use carefully tuned sets
of parameters the engine activates, depending on the position.

But not by normal means IMO. What is good for position #1, may be bad for
position #2, etc.etc. "Easily tweaked by anyone" seems a bit optimistic :o)

Referring to the idea itself, I think anything which is more complicated that
"ready, steady, go!" won't ever be done by SSDF. Their methods will remain
simple, common critizism and suggestions which I read regularly since I'm
online, are usually ignored.

Baseline: If you want a rating list done differently, you have to do it yourself
(which many people do).
