I say it does not make that much difference. I took Crafty 19.17 and set one 1
up to play with the books from Hyatt's site and one to play with the latest DEEB
book from the Arena downloads. The results.....

-----------------Crafty DEEB-BOOK-----------------
Crafty DEEB-BOOK - Crafty Default Book : 51.0/100 27-25-48
(=1=01=110=1=1====110=1==1=10=1===001=0=0==001==111000====11=======0110=1=10==011==0=00=100=0==0=01==)
 51%    +7
-----------------Crafty Default Book-----------------
Crafty Default Book - Crafty DEEB-BOOK : 49.0/100 25-27-48
(=0=10=001=0=0====001=0==0=01=0===110=1=1==110==000111====00=======1001=0=01==100==1=11=011=1==1=10==)
 49%    -7

As you can see there was no advantage to be had by the 100's of hours Dr. Deeb
placed in is book. Dr. Hyatt's book took him I sure all of 5 minutes to create
it. The power is in the fact that Crafty can modify it's own book on the fly
where as the human arena book will repeat the same mistake over and over. Both
Crafties had learning on so the DEEB book playing crafty still had position
learning just could not modify it's own book.
