Yes, a small db would probably be good. I did not examine
the 9x9 db closely but it was contributed at the same time
as the 19x19 db which I had problems with. Could you also
make a smaller 13x13 db than the one that's currently in?

As I explained we also need to revise fuseki.c so that
full board patterns are given big weight as before but
the half board patterns are given weight around 25. Did
you understand my reasons for this?
