Could you please elaborate a bit more on how you created these specific repertoires #14

Just read your most excellent article and I'm very impressed with what you've done here.. especially as a novice programmer!! Well done!

In this paragraph:


I created [a Blitz repertoire with almost no concern for soundness](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4zdnh0zw12d77ns/AADmQAGbkNYe-dsw8UIeCHWHa?dl=0), entirely using gambits you’d struggle to find a course for anywhere. It’s amazing fun for online blitz, with wild (often winning) games. I created [a slightly more sound Blitz repertoire](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/f0otljlnuo716t4/AABOByGO3vnel3snkU6yRJ8Xa?dl=0) for white which might appease pickier players. I created a sound ‘tournament’ repertoire which is complete for White and Black in about 600 lines total, averaging 6 moves deep. The critical responses are covered and where it matters the depth goes into the double digits. I’m not linking that ;)

You share two series of files that you've created.. the one using gambits and the slightly more sound version for white.

Any chance you could take a few of these repertoires and explain what settings / source PGNs you used to specifically create these? I learn best by imitation and seeing how you tweaked both the settings and the source PGNs to create these would be incredibly helpful here. Basically, I'd love to see how you use your own software to create these repertoires from A to Z.

If you could humour this request, I'd be most grateful!

And even though you don't want to share the tournament repertoire (reasonable, although the likelihood of ever facing off against you in any tournament is almost nil), any insights on what tweaks to settings you used here too would be amazing!

Thanks!!
