Hi,

Here are some other sweeties ...

http://echecs.ramonville.free.fr/pgnsca ... er_eng.htm

For the frenzied programmers who wish to have their own book with functionalities similar to ChessBase ctg books (elo, perf...), I released the extraction format of the books generated by PgnScanner. This is in a french document but maybe it can be understandable after a Google translation.

PgnScanner 0.55

- add Draw50RuleBrk (50 moves rule)
- add Draw3xRuleBrk (3 repetition rule)
- add WinGmNotWon (wining game finally not won)
- add NoPlan (play without strategic plan)
- add WinAfterDraw (finally win after a long drawish position)
- fixed bug in book elo printing
- automatic comparison between suspicious opening and statistics data of generated book
- dramatic speed up in generating of tournament (command : ftrn)
- use of 32 bits as well as 64 bits hash keys for the generated book. See french doc here
- elo and statistical data are now included in the book
- 300 elo points adjustable
- minimum and maximum half-move to specify when using the newbk command
- adjustable numeration base (default : 224) for the moves storage => space benefit up to 50%
- other bugs fixing and code cleaning

Best regards
