Desinging a new Chess Engine: LimonChess

[berkantakin]

Hello
I started to desing a new chess engine as a term project for artifical intelligence course in my university. URL of my engine is
http://berkantakin.com/chess.htm
I am currently dealing with integration of opening book to the engine.
I want to ask any recomendation of (source/book, etc..) experienced people to beginners about computer chess.

I suggest that you take a look at Ed Schroder's web pages for his program Pro Deo. I believe that he offers book code for anyone to make part of their chess program. I do not know what the restrictions are on it though. Also it includes some rather sophisticated learning.

I also read that people like the book system of Beowolf. It is an open source program.

If you are looking for examples about how to organise the data entries in the book file, the source code for Fruit 2.1 might help you.

I found that the opening book data/code for Fruit relatively easy to understand.

The code and format is not documented particularly well, but it is simple and straight forward. You have to put a little efford into understanding it.

Kind regards,
Jesper

Toga 1.2.1a might be a better idea; from the version history:
