Stockfish Opening Book (iOS)

Post by deadwalrus »

Love the program. I would love to see a "limit opening book" type setting in any upcoming version of Stockfish (i.e., limit the depth of the opening book to 2 or 3 moves etc).

I am not a high level player and use Stockfish to practice, and it has been helping me develop my opening repertoire. But in the games I play my opponents never know the Nadjorf variation 8 moves deep, so it would be helpful to focus on setting up good positions and tactics toward the beginning of the game when the opponent is making non-book moves.

Anyways -- a very minor suggestion for an amazing program. Thanks for all the work you've put into it.
