Only  one book has been hand tuned - Fischer.  I would like to hand tune the
others too when I have tmoretime, but there is no sense in  holding the release
for that.    The neat part about hand tuning is that it forces you to look at
all these great champions and their lines of play from a top side down view and
the you zero in on lines in certain posistions and you see what their tendencies
were and what openings they preferred o be in- it is quite a learning
experieince , as I have never done that before.   Yes, ALL games are included-
that how is you get to see everything they played  It is set up to use the
bigger book.bin once the GM moves run out.  That gives it a more natural feel --
otherwise the book may have a stringy feel.  I only marked the GM moves to play
- not the opponent moves of course.    The GM books work better with a bigger
book.bin as backup - I guess that is how Bob designed it.  You still do what you
want of course.

I tested in Arena and Winboard in winboard mode.  That is how crafty should play
since it is a winboard engine.  It may work with the uci adapter, but I did not
test.

The automatic book changing is definitely cool.
