Free UCI Engines with Book built in?

Post by Steve B »

Could any of the Engine experts here please provide a link to FREE UCI Engines that contain an opening book built into the .EXE file?
i am asking because i would like to test the Revelation dedicated chess computer which has the ability to use UCI engines
however it cannot incorporate a book unless the book is built into the executable file

so far i have found only one free UCI engine with a built in book..
Spike 1.2

Steve

Are you sure about that? Because on the Spike website there is a Spike Book builder tool that creates a separate book file.

yes
i simply downloaded the Spike Tourin 1.2 file for windows and not the book builder
it plays on my Rev with a book
other UCI Engines without a built in book will start pondering their move from move 1..so far i have only found Spike 1.2 with a bulit in book

WJChess has a book built into the executable, IIRC.

I wish there was a book for WB2UCI much like the polyglot books.

Thanks Gerold
it seems Delphils book is not incorporated into the .exe file but rather is in a separate file
so i could not get it to play with a book in the Revelation

so far i have only 4 Free UCI engines with a built in book (book in the .exe file):
Spike 1.2
Queen 4.03
WJ 1.64
Big Lion 2.23(although here it seems that the engine will only play from book as white...strange but it is probably the Revelation interface)

Steve
