Subject: Opening Book Formats and Creation

Author: Chris Moreton

I have recently added a new opening book and opening book format to Rival.  It
now makes an opening book from a PGN file and can be requested to create a new
book from within the GUI.  It stores the positions in a plain text file as FENs
along with the number of white wins, black wins and draws and can be asked to
restrict the book based on the percentage of wins for the side who would make
the move that leads to each position and the number of plys examined in each
game.  The idea was mainly fueled after reading how Crafty creates its book.bin
file.  Is this relatively in keeping with how others implement opening books or
am I, as is often the case, way of the mark?
