Opening book for Glaurung 2

Post by Tord Romstad »

Hello all,

As many of you have noticed, the first opening book I published for Glaurung 2 was broken, and the "corrected" version I put on my web site a few days later turned out to be even worse; for instance Glaurung was already out of book after 1. e4 c5. The problem turned out to be that the .zip file Salvo sent me was somehow corrupted. I take all responsibility for the problems; I should have tested the book before making it available for download.

Salvo has now sent me a new book, and I can confirm that this one actually works. I have played a 100-game match with the new book, and I am very happy with the quality, depth and variety of the selected book lines. It seems to me that Salvo has made an excellent job with this book.

Download from my web site. Make sure you get the right book file: There are two different books, one for Glaurung 1 and another one for Glaurung 2, in different formats.

Thanks to Salvo for creating the book!
