Hello all,

  I would like to understand how to mess with
gnu chess's opeing book.  As I undestand the makefile.  Existing book
is run through gnuchessr and the gnuchess.data file is produced.

  What information is stored in this file?  How does gnuchess decide
wether to stay in book or to strike out on its own.  Can it ever stumble
back into book?  What kinds of lines can or should I add to the book
at by site to experiment with improving it?

  Thanks

   Collins
