Has someone already tried to make books with favourite openings by a given famous chess player?

If I had time, I would like to try the book format used in La Dame blanche. But it is another story.

Now it's a mystery for me how the C code can work. :| Well in C, the 0 prefix denotes octal, so 7*8+7 = 63 :) (does it mean that Eschecs will get an opening book soon? ;) OK, didn't know that. Thank you for the explanation. Yes, Eschecs should have a book very soon. And I also hope to fix the bug t...

Yes, the problem was the constant 077. With the following correction the code works correctly. 8-) f := (move shr 6) and 63; fr := (f shr 3) and 7; ff := f and 7; t := move and 63; tr := (t shr 3) and 7; tf := t and 7; p := (move shr 12) and 7; Now it's a mystery for me how the C code can work. :|

Can you compile and run the C code example? If yes, it is easy to run both C code and your Pascal program in debug mode, step by step then compare all variants. Yes, I can compile and run the C code, so I can do what you say. I have just a quick glance and suspicion about your constant 077. My code...

Here is a first version of pg_show.pas . It doesn't work correctly. Here are the moves suggested for the start position: move=b2b2 weight=41,46% move=e2e2 weight=40,62% move=e1f1 weight=10,00% move=a2a2 weight= 7,33% move=e2e1 weight= 0,29% move=b2b1 weight= 0,18% move=f2f2 weight= 0,07% move=b1a1 w...

Hello! I started to convert to Pascal the source code provided on this page . Here is pg_key.pas . I included six test positions. The program returns the expected results except for one position. :| (* * This little proof of concept utility for educational purposes * computes the Polyglot key of a f...

Are you in need of a polyglot conversion utility, or is it just a matter of finding the time to write the code?

For now, my programs doesn't use any book. I don't have some code to read a book. So, yes, I have to write some code.

Happy coding

Thank you for the links and for the tips. OK, in 2020 I will try to learn how to read a polyglot book.

Note that UCI2WB is the opposite of what you asked for. It is for running UCI engines in a WB GUI.

Thank you for your answer. Yes, I know.
