To judge my opening book as COOKED lines is quite superficial!
I already explain what the aim was and the kind of work I have done. If people
don't want to understand it is their problem, not mine.

I did make a better version changing the parameters. I did not gave this info to
anyone to respect Marty's work.
The problem is that in order to make improvements against today's programs there
is a need of improving the depth expecially in the endgame. This means that even
if version 8 can be improved changing the parameters, to make a real jump it is
needed tha Marty takes over and makes what needed, which I doubt for the time
being.
