A good way to achieve it is with statistics.
Store lots of information about book positions.
Wins/Losses/Draws/Unfinished
MCO rating
NCO rating
ECO rating
Computer centipawn evaluation and depth (for several engines)
Undeperformance/Overperformance (IOW -- when this move is played, is the winning
expectancy in line with ELO figures or does it do better than ELO would
estimate?)
SuperGM preference
GM preference
IM preference

Probably lots more could be stored.  Maybe in a real database.
