The book.bin will be >created from enormous.pgn. My suggestion is to use book.bin, bookc.bin and books.bin from my ftp machine. book.bin has no learning data so it will start off in the best possible way. remove position.bin before game 1. And, as I suggested previously, if, after a program leaves book, it is in an obviously won or lost position, the game gets aborted and the next one started. There is no place for "book kills" when the goal is a time handicap match. > >I will use any book Amir asks me to. > >All games will be played on a P4 3.06Ghz.
