Hi Djordje,

this is an interesting setup idea as well.
A good opening book (and I am sure yours is) is an extremely important weapon.

So you are saying

Original Crafty + your book

is 20 Elo points or more better than

Crafty improved by me + original crafty book


I would need to really scrutinise Craftys original book to see how good/bad it
is before. Or am I allowed to use the best book I can come up with myself ? I
think that would make the setup too tough for you, especially because no one
could verify I did not copy a commercial book.
Maybe a middle ground would be to say I may use the best automatically generated
book by crafty I can come up with, from a givem gamebase like corbits 2600+ ?

What do you think ?

What do you mean by "I am not a law student" ? We are not trying to make fun of
me, are we ? :-)

Georg
