That is what the >"percentages" >mean. The point is that I never saw lines ordered in that way(the most close thing that I saw are Fritz's book or shredder's book but it only give me the number of games for every move in theoretical positions and not a list of lines ordered by frequency). I do not know what Crafty does but the question is if it generates a file when I can look in the relevant lines. It may be important to investigate problems of programs with the opening without book because I want my program to find good moves without book and knowing the most common positions that it fails is important for me because it is possible that I may discover some pattern and by fixing my program I may reduce the number of mistakes significantly.
