Hi Bob
Provided you have found a personality that plays a specific
opening better than the default settings: the problem howewver
is that this personality may on the other hand deal with another
opening much weaker -:) And I fear that your wish to have engines
changing their personalities depending on the opening chosen can't
be realized.
