hello Dan,
I presume you already have looked at the options
available in Bookbuilder (3.2), like Epd endnode analysis,
importing Epd's with one extra node (ie the analysed one),
utrafast backsolving, etc. If your starting with such an
ambitious project, as you wrote, that would be worth a look, i
would suggest..(btw my own plans are to make it a more
interesting & learnful for 'real' human chess players instead
of all the megabyting crunching, so in any case our 'plans'
will divert at a later stage i presume; although these C.A.P
data ofcourse will reamin highly interesting for all computer
chess programs, i expect, provided a lot more analysis is done).
best regards & good luck,
JefK
