jja: convert CTG books to PolyGlot format (and more!)
Posted: 14 Mar 2023, 14:57
I want to announce jja, a command line utility to interact with various chess file formats. It is still in its very early stages of development. The initial intention of the author was to convert their opening books which were saved with ChessBase's proprietary CTG format to the free and open PolyGlot format. Overtime they intend to add support for other chess file formats (cbh, epd, pgn, si4, si5 and so on).

git: https://git.sr.ht/~alip/jja
Installation is as simple as "cargo install jja" on Linux.
This is free software, licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later.
# Notes about CTG book conversion
This is currently somewhat primitive. jja uses the NAGs and performance rating in the CTG file to determine the weight of the corresponding PolyGlot move. Overtime I want to make this more configurable and potentially include more ctg fields into calculation.
I hope you find it useful, please let me know what you think.
