As an alternative, this might be easy to program: (1) Start with a large database of serious games [not blitz, etc.]. (2) Throw out all games in which neither player was titled. (3) Create an ordered set of chess positions, with the positions recurring most often listed at the top. (4) Cull out all positions not generally regarded as being the "critical" positions of an opening. [A panel of strong chessplayers could do the culling.] (5) Find other ways to cull out positions of low significance, value, etc. (6) Then do what you were going to do with the resulting ordered set of positions.
