Here's a Bobby Fischer book I made for Mike Byrne's Crafty 1915se. Designed for use with the Fischer personality setting. The book consists of about 2800 of Bobby Fischer's best games. I converted/compacted the pgn file with Bookbuilder and exported it to Crafty.

I don't believe Fischer has played that many games. Could you make the pgn file available?

You're right of course David. I don't know where I got that figure from. I think it must have got mixed up with the Spasky book I'm also creating at the moment. Should have said about 900. Apologies!
I got the pgn's from here.

Thanks. One problem with books created for a specific personality is that naturally the opponents moves have to be included. Were you able to give more weight to Fischers moves and less weight to his opponents moves? If so, how did you accomplish this?

This was admittedly a 'quick and dirty' conversion, done for fun using Bookbuilder's automatic analysis and optimisation techniques. Of course far more can be done to make it more accurate - I would love to create a more authentic book as you suggest, I just don't have the time, but if you do David ... ?
I ran some games (about 100) using Crafty1915se (Fischer personality & my book) against Crafty-1915dc & Deep Sjeng 1.5, time control 40-5-0 and it seems stronger than the standard Crafty and at least equal to Deep Sjeng, although of course that may have nothing to do with the book or the personality setting, just that Mike Byrne's CraftySe plays a bit stronger than the standard one.

Hi Matthias, OK string me up! - shoot me! I left brackets round the link - Geez, don't strain yourself. Couldn't you just cut and paste it?. Ok, here it is again :

Ok, that's not clickable either. It's not my fault! Looks like you'll have to cut-and-paste after all.
