The development team is planning on releasing several dozen opening books as a downloadable "extra" via the website. These books are opening specific (such as Sicilian, Sicilian Dragon, several French Defense books, etc.) There are 57 books in all, and they total about 4.5MB. They were created using the same tool that is used in the "Import PGN" feature of the opening book editor. Since there is SO MUCH data there, the development team is looking for a little help in testing them. What they need to know is if there are any OBVIOUS GLARING errors in the books (such as some move other than 1...c5 being played in any of the Sicilian books, for example). They are NOT looking for suggestions on improving certain lines, adjusting move priorities, etc., although I suspect any "bug report" will be looked at to some degree. Any volunteers? Just e-mail me (or reply to this post) and I'll e-mail you a ZIP file containing all of the books. If you would prefer to only look at a certain opening or two, pick which ones you are interested in from the list below, and I'll send just those to you. Also, if you see any NOTABLE opening that has been omitted from this list, please let me know....
