Sure, I could do this.

Looks fine.

Spontaneously I don't like to have redundant comments everywhere in
the file, although I can see the use of having it like that too.

A more serious problem with the level information, however, is that it
doesn't survive adjournments. For various technical reasons a new game
record is generated every time a game is restarted. It would in
principle be possible to carry the depth information over from the
previous game record, but this is not trivial to do robustly and
I don't plan to try to implement this anytime soon.
