To show the potential book moves and their weights for a position compile with
-DDEBUG33 in the OPT line of the Makefile. It will show all book moves 
for a position and their weights and the hint that goes with them.

As for analysis have youy tried running with "post" set. That shows the 
current thinking. that with 'undo' and 'force' lets you do analysis
by trying different moves and seeing the responses.
