Houdini Opening Book IDeA Master Trees

Post by tomlynch »

Hi,

Upon chessok's direction I installed the book in Arena using adapter. However we appear unable to access the IDeA Master Trees and any other functions than the book's engine. Purpose of getting the book was to enter an opening position and see the corresponding move choices with 'IA' index.

Chessok says it doesn't understand use of Arena so I'm asking if IDeA tree accessible, how is action performed?

If tree only used with Houdini Aquarium or ChessKing, is its use described in the product's instructions? I certainly don't see in google.

Hi Tom,

I think you will get better luck with help in the main forum. It has a broader audience of power users.
