A newbie question about testing

Thanks Robert for your comments. I believe that your epd database is wide enough to give confident results.
This is the explanation i was looking for.
I was thinking of building a similiar db by myself, but your work is even better.
Thanks everybody.

The code in Crafty's source is there, but protected by a #if defined(POSITIONS) pre-processor directive. If you define that, and create a book, you will also get a large file with the described FEN positions included. You can then go through the sort/uniq -c/sort/head (and then use awk to strip the counts off) to produce a FEN file for yourself.

In my file, there are NO positions that appeared in only one game. In fact, I do not believe there are any positions that appeared in 3 or less games, to make sure I didn't include any oddball things...
