Just collect a book of a couple hundred megs of PGN played by club players, and create your opening book out of that. >If someone comes up with suggestions, I'll add a 'personality' selection >command, although I do _not_ want to see some of the stupid personality names >used in other programs. IE No Fischer, no Tal, no Petrosian, etc. I don't know >of _any_ program that plays like any of those... I thought it might be nice to collect symbolic properties into a single data structure.

This would also be very useful for testing, since you would not have to recompile to test what happens when you change one option.
