"You can enter as many "!" as you want. On the other hand, if a move is appended with a "?" Crafty will never play it. Moves in books.bin that are not flagged with either "!" or "?" don't have any influence on Crafty's choice at all." So it seems to be possible to mark the opponents moves with a "?" so they will never be played. If a quick and easy way to mark moves in this manner could be found, a personality book can be created that "truly" plays like a human GM. :-) Regards Dave
