I am a chess engine programmer, so I use an automated process to make a book. I try to find a big PGN file with games from Grandmasters with ELO greater than 2600. I run it through PGN extract to remove very short games in which one opponent lost, as they are likely to have blunders in opening, I may filter out some openings which my program does not play well, etc. Then I re-format the PGN file so my program can read it, and create a opening book for the program. The problem with building such a book is that it is not of good quality. Good quality books must be made by hand. I believe chessbase can be used to manually create a book. Pallav
