Arena book error

Post by PK »

I created an empty Arena book and tried to insert the following line:

1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 e6 3.e4 c5 4.e5 Ng8 5.Nf3 Nc6 6.d4 cxd4 7.Nxd4 Nxe5 8.Qa4 Nf6 9.Ndb5 Ng6 10.h4 h5 11.Bd3 Bc5 12.b4 Be7 13.Bxg6 fxg6 14.Bf4

As a result, I got all the moves in the book *except* 8.Nf6. What the hell is going on? A hash collision?

I have been using Arena 1.1. Can anyone reproduce this error and/or provide a solution other than disabling Flohr-Mikenas system for Black?

Yes,this is a well known error and nothing can be done about it....
I also use Arena 1.1 and I have my own opening book developing it for years till now,but it's not released yet,it's private and only 2-3 users can use it....so many times I've noticed this annoying bug,in a 20 move opening line hand tuned a move mysteriously disappear and can't be played even if you add it again and again,don't ask me,I don't know why :?
_No one can hit as hard as life.But it ain’t about how hard you can hit.It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.How much you can take and keep moving forward….
