Subject: Adding ratings to opening book evaluation

Author: Geo Disher

I have noticed that some of the software like Crafty and Fritz modify the
opening book based on the history of wins or losses.  In other words they will
play a opening again if they tend to win at it a lot.  I think they do this by
some point value from a history of playing that particular opening.

I was wondering if it would help to have a persons rating put into the systems
with each game (if they had one) so that wins and loss evaluation could be
waited.  The reason I say this is because as a 1800 player I don't think a
computers win against me is as important as it would be against a master.

Has then been tried before and if not why?
