Hi Doctor.

Thanks for your great work.

First, do you have a link? :-)

Secondly, a question you might know an answer for (very important question for
me!). I noticed in your first version that the move counts for moves in the tree
were manipulated somehow (1024, 2048 etc. being the norm). I can figure out to
do this, and also some reasons, but maybe you can help me do this:

Remove all move counts/stats from a *.ctg tree? I can't do it in Fritz 9 or CB
7, but is it possible in later CB versions?

My reasons to want to be able to do this:

1) Move counts heavily affect the rate of play, and it can't be adjusted
properly by the book parameters (in part because "min games" have 999 as cap). I
don't want a low "min games" since that would make a book follow bad games
imported to the book. AND, I don't want those move counts to affect the rate of
play :-)

2) When updating a book with new games, the stats get screwed up unless you
closely keep track of exactly which games you have already imported. Keeping
track of this is practically impossible in my experience, and one fault is
enough to render the stats permanently flawed.

So, my goal is a book with JUST the moves and weights in it, no stats AT ALL.
Then stats can already be added by any user by him importing an appropriate game
base for him.

I have thought out a tricky way to do this: merge tons of games into one, save
without elo info, and then import into an empty tree. But it would be SO much
easier if there was an option to delete move stats from the tree, AND I wouldn't
have to start from scratch.

Kind regards,
Dagh Nielsen
