Sam: You may have figured this out already, but in case you didn't (or in case anyone else is interested) ... After you run the 'test this position,' it ranks the moves. Then, if you run it again to a greater depth, but tell it to restrict to the first x moves, it uses the first x moves from the previous test. So, you can, for example, test all moves to a depth of 5, then test the best 12 to a depth of 7, then the best 6 of those to a depth of 9, etc. Glad that you are making use of it; calculating opening books is exactly what I wrote that feature for.
