creating opening book

Post by JC »

I would like to create a number of opening books for Hiarcs Chess Explorer and use them in training games. I have stockfish and hiarcs engines. Is this possible and if so could someone instruct me how to do this?

I don't think is possible, perhaps in version 2 of HCE when released

I hope so. The software is extremely user-friendly and I like everything else about it especially the benefit of having more than one database open at a time.

I agree. A great piece of software although I hope v2 lets me put a selection of games into a temporary book as I find that very useful in my old version of ChessBase 11.

Although it is not currently possible to permanently create a user book as a seperate item, the Opening "Source" can be selected to "Database" when a pgn file of games is loaded displaying moves, number of games and score.

Can be useful when checking specific lines for success rate.

I would also really appreciate this feature to be available; specifically, I would like to create my own book that would be available when playing a match against a chess engine.
