Fine, so the next generation/version of programs will have
Anti-Fritz
Anti-Hiarcs
Anti-King
Anti-Rebel
Anti-Junior
Anti-Nimzo
Anti-Shredder
Anti-Genius
Anti-MChessPro
settings with according opening books I suppose.

This can't be the future, neither of chess nor computerchess.
If SSDF will allow such a handling you can close your list. This is absolutely
nonsense.
