Does anyone have a bookthinker.dat or polyglot book to share? That would only be for my private testing (i.e. done for fun - not serious and not published).I would keep it private. I downloaded a bookthinker.dat book by G.Simon I believe. The book is just too good for testing engines, i.e. it goes often to 80 plies, so if two different engines are using it, it goes too often right into the endgame (I think the book is very good otherwise, i.e. to help one engine to have good results,but it is not designed to test engines - I'm looking for 20-30 plies ideally). As it is, I can't match up Scorpio, the King and/or Jonny as I'd liked (all using G.Simon book right now). I'm using winboard and GalisWTMB so that I can't use .ctg or .abk books (unless I change my mind about winboard, but ideally I would keep it if I can get opening books). Also on my wish list: I would like to have the right version of makebook.exe (from Thinker) in order to make my own opening book for some engines. If someone could e-mail it to me I would be very pleased as well. Thanks a lot for those spending time about this, , Sincerely, Marc-Olivier, I'm sorry to ask so such in the same post, but again help about any of these topics would be greatly appreciated.
