I don't think that most amateur programs would benefit much from this. The
difference is fine tuning existing knowledge vs. adding new knowledge. Most
amateur programs need more knowledge added before they could benefit much from
fine tuning evaluation parameters. In contrast, most commercial programs have a
pretty decent, well rounded evaluation function, without any glaring holes, so
they can benefit from fine tuning.
