Well,the concept of the opening book is based on the draw games played at high level nad using the priority system and the number of games as a scale for choosing the moves the engines is gonna make....
The third edition of the opening book is underway and I hope to release it this summer :D

Hi Dr Wael Deeb,

Thanks for making available your book for RomiChess! And thanks for this explaination of how it is supposed to work. I will now be able to make it work more like it was intended. I do have a question though, and that is how many percentage points of randomness should be given to the move count percentage before selecting a move? Or is there another formula that you envisioned for selecting random moves from your book?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Michael,
Well,I've explained this bearing in mind the .abk format of my opening book under the Arena GUI :D
My advice is to calibrate your opening book using the pgn files I sent you depending on the number of games mainly from selecting the opening system and going deeper into the variation,hope this answer can help you reconstructing your opening book.....
BTW,the recent opening book is quite strong and if you make it stronger,I'll be pleased :D
Cheers,
