Go up one level in this thread


I have an offshoot idea from your original question, but in a different
direction.
It would be nice to have:
1. A standard Opening book format (just as Winboard gives us a standard command
sequence API).  This format could be published and described in detail.
2. A standard Opening book inquiry API.
3. Both of the above combined (preferred).

Even with commercial programs, they could support option 2, and then we could
use commercial database products as opening books, just as commercial products
now use freely available chess engines by relying on a standard API.
