Hi there, Thanks for all the advice about chess programming. I am now in a position to add an opening move book to my program. I wondered what the best way to do this was. I had thought about just storing games in PGN format on disk and having the chess engine run through them comparing its move list to the PGN list and making the next move if it finds one that matches. I had also thought about just having a kind of position & next move map. Does anyone have any published open books? What format are they? What are the considerations to take into account when programming opening book related routines? Thanks again, Scott
