Subject: My $.02 on books

Go up one level in this thread


You had a nice thread going on personality books.

Let me describe my process - I create a pgn file for Fischer with White -- I run
that through bookup - flag the most common moves for white going somewhere
between 20 to 50ply (10 - 25 moves deep).   I flag only the white moves.  I then
the same with Fischer as black pgn., flagging only the most common black moves.
I export the bookup file as multiple pgn's and the combine both test files to
create one fischer.bin (later I will modify Crafty to look for fischer.bin when
playing as with fischer personality), import the moves in Crafty.  Crafty will
then play just like Fischer wther white or black.  With Bookup, I should be able
to make one personality book in about 4 hours.  It is really cool and it works.


The fischer.bin only has about 30,000+ positions, so it is not a very big book.
maybe 1 MB.
