Stockfish opening book

Post by Werewolf »

Is there an opening book which has been approved for Stockfish general use?

Does anyone know of a book which has been written specifically with this program in mind? (Ideally CTG)

Stockfish has its own book. http://www.mediafire.com/?mzgedyunemh

Not sure if you need something else.

Thanks I didn't realise that existed. I guess what I was hoping for was a ctg of that book.

Or I don't suppose someone has converted this into a Chessbase book by any chance..?

Try here. I created this book for Stockfish 1.5.x and 1.6.x. It got 9th in Sedat's SCCT VI, so it's decent. I am currently working on an updated version, you can wait for that if you want.
