to be honest bob, i don't know. i copied the new crafty exe in my old old
winboard directory and set the path of arena (inclusive crafty.rc as ini file)
to the directory. there is a book.
the winboard directory is very old. i used it in those times when we had no
arena and no other GUI's to run winboard programs in.
so it can be the book is not very big and also not very optimized.
in those time we had no ADSL :-))


book.bin  12.853 KB
book.dat 56 KB
Book.lrn 15 KB
bookc.bin 129 KB
books.bin 130 KB

Do you want me to use a special book ?
if so, please give me the link and i will download and install it in this
directory. i never thought much about giving crafty a special book.
the idea was to let crafty participate to have an idea where it is
within a big range of different programs.

crafty.rc is looking this way:

name zchess2.2
computer
hash=196M
hashp=32M
cache=16M
resign=9
book on
book random 1
book width 3
noise 6000000
learn 7
drawscore=0
tbpath=d:\schach\tb
egtb
time 40/120/20/60
exit

thank you for your comments. if you like that i use a specific book,
please name the web-site or the size and i will download and install it.
feel free to instruct me the way that crafty plays the best, if you want it to
do so.

If you e.g. want another version to play, you could tell me. i do e.g. not know
if 19.07 is still the strongest or if there are important changes in other
versions.
