I agree and have included some UCI options for tuning in Gambit Fruit.  If
people prefer a text file for personality tuning I can switch over to that
style.  Making a UCI Engine play down its strength is an interesting idea that
is a UCI-2 option that I will look into soon.  Thank you for the idea as I am
sure many feel the same way.  Here are the tuning options so far.  The extension
related options will be seen in the next version released in a few days.  I hope
to have more options soon as well and am alway open to suggestions.
