A PGN file? If so, >how long is it? And can you email it to me? 2.4 million PGN chess games is the source. You can collect them any time you like. No charge. In creating the crafty book, I simply employ parameters that accept every single move from every single game all the way to the end (some games have nearly 600 moves). It still plays well (but is much weaker than regular crafty). It makes the computer play much more like a human, with an occasional stupidity because a lot of humans tried something that was not thoroughly debugged. You have to use a modified version of crafty (the one at my FTP site) or terrible things will happen. ;-)
