Not to be (too) confrontational, but have you actually accomplished this feat,
say, in a private experiment?

There was someone here a while ago who was trying to get people to bet him a
large sum of money that he couldn't improve crafty by some amount of points
(maybe 100?).

I'm skeptical of these kind of claims because if it were possible to improve
crafty by that much, it would almost be commercial strength (according to WBEC
ratings)... So why wouldn't that person just write a commercial-level engine
from scratch (given that he has the last "secrets" anyway)?
