Question for Lance about your booktotext tool

[Günther Simon]

Geschrieben von:/Posted by: Günther Simon at 03 July 2004 13:41:38:

Hi Lance,
I have seen that you have finally released your booktotext converter
for Thinker books. Would you please be so kind to tell the commands
for saving the output into a file?
So far I had no luck with whatever I tried, it just generates the
output in the console but not into a file.
Best regards,
Günther

You just need to 'pipe' it to an output file. Its something like:
BookToText > bookfile.txt
Cheers...

I succeeded this way:
1)made a copy of program "book to text.exe", renamed the copy to "bk2txt.exe"
2)opened a DOS window (I use Windows 98)
3)went to the folder where Bookthinker is
4) typed "bk2txt > book.txt"

Then a text file book.txt was created. It's about 20Mb.
I still can't figure out how to make use of this text file. Too big to edit it manually, moreover I don't know how to reconvert the (edited) file to book format.
I hope somebody could explain how to do.

Thanks that works now. I seem still not to understand how the result
of a game is represented in your data. You said once makebook makes
a list from the pgn, throwing out all duplicated stuff, but considers
the result too for this.
Ok, an example: I have a pgn with say 5 games and to make that example
short let's say I just make a 3 plies book again.
1.e4 c5 2.d4 cxd4 3.c3 ... 1/2
1.e4 c5 2.d4 cxd4 3.c3 ... 0-1
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 ... 1/2
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 ... 1-0
1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 d6 3.g3 ... 1/2
shouldnt this give?:
00001 e4 c5 d4 (draw)
00001 e4 c5 d4 (loss)
00002 e4 c5 Nf3 (frequency 2 because 1 win + 1 draw)
00001 e4 c5 Nc3
I noticed though that I never saw a line twice, which I thought
would be there because of different results?
It would be fine if one could just delete or add lines and
frequencies manually in the text file and revert it again into
a working Thinker book
An other question: do you plan to recognize transpositions too
(AFAIK it doesnt know about it today?) in the future?
Best regards,
Günther

Games 3 and 4 are stored as seperate entries in the book because their results are different.
OK then. I'll modify MakeBook so that it can also accept the output of BookToText. Btw, the most recent version of MakeBook crashes, so, I'll have to fix that first.
I have no plans of doing transpositions. For now, I just want ChessThinker to be effective but be small and simple.

You can edit it with UltraEdit (really nifty, and not too expensive)
If you sort it, you can see the best lines. Here are the lines with scores over 100:

Hi Lance,
I have seen that you have finally released your booktotext converter
for Thinker books. Would you please be so kind to tell the commands
for saving the output into a file?
So far I had no luck with whatever I tried, it just generates the
output in the console but not into a file.
Best regards,
Günther

I succeeded this way:
1)made a copy of program "book to text.exe", renamed the copy to "bk2txt.exe"
2)opened a DOS window (I use Windows 98)
3)went to the folder where Bookthinker is
4) typed "bk2txt > book.txt"

Then a text file book.txt was created. It's about 20Mb.
I still can't figure out how to make use of this text file. Too big to edit it manually, moreover I don't know how to reconvert the (edited) file to book format.
I hope somebody could explain how to do.

Telmo

I took all of the book lines that had a score of ten or better and made them into a standard PGN file. The farther towards the bottom of the file, the larger the score.

Here is the CAP analysis for the positions in the book that have been analyzed:
ftp://cap.connx.com/pub/chess-engines/n ... nkbook.epd
Notice that some positions are analyzed more than once. Generally speaking, the larger the acd value (depth of analysis) the better the data.
