beta 1 is ready:
Three moves after ECO Code formed is the topic for ...
Opening books or rating list Systems or engine tournaments!
We have after SF 17012017 ASM BMI2 4Cores+4x Hyperthreading on i7 4.1Ghz and 30 seconds per Position Analyse time ...
82.704 positions with move transpositions and 26.609 without move transpositions. Move transpositions are important for opening books. Positions to all 500 ECO codes with equal lines ... not higher as 0.50 and -0.30.
All the material can be found on my Webpage under:
Opening book ...
http://www.amateurschach.de
Here the english readme:
Code: Select all
Development of a basic database in *.pgn format & basic opening book
for Shredder Classic GUI
in *.bkt opening book file format!
Later the same in polyglot and Wasp format will be available!
1.
You can found here a collection of sorted-out "FCP Rating List" games (~ 85%), newer missed
GM theory games from 2014-2016 (~ 5%) and in additional game material to rarely opening
lines / variants I haven't enough (~ 10%).
Game material of reject FCP Rating List games based on my "FCP Live Book", many years
under development. For my "FCP Live Book" engines try to find to 30-40% of all cases own ways
after the ECO code was building. With other words, my basics comes from:
- high quality correspondence games, both players over 2500 Elo
- high quality grandmaster games, both players over 2500 Elo
- high quality TOP-50 computer chess games on Intel® Core™ i7-4770K hardware with 4Ghz and
40 moves in 10 minutes, TOP-50 of chess engines have an Elo average from ~ 2850-2975 Elo.
please have a look under: http://www.amateurschach.de/main/_conditions.htm
- 85% of the positions aren't susceptible for fast 3-fold-repetition.
reject with my FCP Rating List!
2.
Ten strong engines, different in playing style and stronger after opening book moves,
will search bad lines as next.
Hint for engine programmers:
If you like you can analyzed the end positions of my database.
*.epd files with the end positions are included in this download file.
Main interest:
--------------
- A very strong PGN database for engine-engine matches / rating list systems.
End position should be started with an equal line / variant!
- A very strong PGN database for openings book developer,
or for an example for Arena Chess GUI "PGN-Random" feature!
- To create an opening book in Shredder Classic GUI *.bkt format
I am still working on it, have a look in readme.txt
- can be found in the sub directory called "bkt" -
- Opening book in Polyglot format (will be later available).
- Opening book for Wasp by John Stanback (will be later available).
- I am working on a bigger documentation with a lot of details in German language too!
From time to time I will make updates, can be found on my webpage: www.amateurschach.de
##############################
Time of project: ~ 6-12 months
##############################
Additional information:
-----------------------
- "move transpositions" are included (important for opening book developers).
- length of lines = 3 moves after the ECO code was formed, minimal 5-6 moves.
please have a look in the file: eco-codes-length.txt
Note: To many of ECO codes it isn't easy to find equal lines!
Good examples are: A51, A74, C36-C40, C57-C58, C74, D22, E87
Logical, to many not popular ECO codes I have not lesser material.
please have a look in the file: beta-1_ecolist-rarely.txt
- enough lines to all 500 ECO codes and all important modern variants should be included
in my basics.
please have a look in the files:
beta-1_ecolist.txt & beta-1_general.txt & beta-1_summary.txt
With beta-1_summary.txt can be see that the book length will be later: 16,97 half-moves.
