Crafty v19.17 SE PB Update
Just a quick update:
The book parameters for personalities were changed to play more like the personaliity selected.
The move now command (?) was broken when delay move was selected, it is now fixed.
Also included is a "hand tuned" personality book for Capablanca. There are now two "hand tuned" books - Fischer and Capablanca (and more are on the way) and 22 auto generated books. The auto generated books will always stay in lines that the GM played, but perhaps in not correct percentages. The hand tuned books will play more closely to the percentages the GM played forthe first few moves. For example Fischer played e4 nearly 91% of the time and c5 against e4 81% of the time. Capablanca played e4 46% o the time, d4 42% of the time and against e4, Capablanca played e5 72% of the time, etc. When the persinality falls out its book , it will fall back to your bigger book.c
The "hand tuned" Kasparov book is now in progress.
Included in this zip file is the "hand tuned" Capablanca book.
The rest of the books are available from Peter Skinner's Crafty website.
