My recommendation to you would be to reduce the depth >(maybe 15 ply) and increase the width (maybe 3 games min). Won't be the best >for playing strength but I think will be good for development. That's a good idea, I think eventually I will publish two books (the current one and one done with the criteria you suggest) and leave the choice to the user. >Now the bad news.
