I’m not sure how useful these insights are for practical play below the elite level, but I found them quite fascinating.

Btw, I prefer not to have posts and threads hijacked, but as there's no "Contact me" link just yet there's no superior alternative at the moment.

From what I saw, they're not particularly useful for elite players, who will have worked out everything there for themselves and then much, much, much (etc.) more. But for mid-/upper-mid-level players through at least my level, they are nice tidbits and give some direction for further research.
