Re: [Bug-gnubg] Feature request: Training tool "Randomize first N moves within 0.XXX equity."

The "personalities" thing would be very interesting IMO:

- a small set of predefined personalities (eventually, ability to
define custom ones, on chequer play and cube decision)

- possibility to chose a given personality or to pick a random
one (not disclosed, unless requested).

MaX.
