Hello everyone! I am just designing a new book format for my engine Mint. It will use Quark's pre-compiled format PBK (which can be built from PGN files) and compile it to a binary file, which is much smaller and easier to read, and much cooler also :) Anyway, I figure every position/move should be 16 bytes long, and when all information about move and hash-signature are added to the entry (including PBK flags) 12 bytes are used. Now those are pretty much mission critical - I can't change those. So I am left with 4 bytes. I want to use these to store statistics about the move, to support a future book-learning function. But the thing is I'm not sure what information would be most useful to store! I have a couple of ideas obviously but I am very interested to hear any ideas others might have. 4 bytes is pretty much, but not enough to get too crazy :) - Christian http://www-und.ida.liu.se/~chrso085/mint/
