.Bk Chess Partner Book format for Twisted Logic Anyone?

Post by swami »

I'm looking for a compact attacking book for Twisted Logic which doesnt have chess partner format book, so I'd greatly appreciate if anyone could come up with compact book enough for the short tournament...

Thanks in advance!

Hello Swami,

Maybe you could make something with one of the older Rebel books by Jeroen? They are maybe not very up to date but it would be better than no book at all. http://www.lokasoft.nl/download_opening_books But making a custom book now would be quite a task I think unless somebody already has made something for another program.

Regards, Eelco

From the books you've linked to, I'd recommend NUNN.bk (But, as always, my data is statistically meaningless.)

These books, are too old though, so my suggestion is that you load them all (Including lchess.bk that comes with ChessPartner) into Chesspartner so you get a broad coverage of positions, and so when a novelty is played, instead of getting out of book, another book is loaded to continue the work.

Another idea is to, before the tournament begins, play a lot of games with learning ON for these books, so ChessPartner changes the weights and probability of the moves played to fit Twisted Logic's needs, and it plays the better moves.
Your beliefs create your reality, so be careful what you wish for.

Some pgn's i converted long time ago from Norm Pollock.
I don't think they are very compact or attacking
but they are in chesspartner format.

Cool Fonzy, Thanks for the link, this book somewhat seems suitable given its size.

Edsel will decide which of these books he wants the engine to use.
