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.
