Settings openings book

[goldminer999]

Best advice is to always set everything to do with the game and timings first - then do the book settings. Otherwise book settings get returned to default.

OK thanks for the input.... all the other forums I posted my question on said the same thing. Set book after time or level.

Where are the settings to govern the access of the engine in polyglot to the openings book?

thanks in advance

Look at any polyglot.ini (there is one included in YaY) and you'll see something like this:

Code: Select all

[PolyGlot]
EngineCommand=Rybka3.exe
Resign=false
Draw=False
Book=true
BookFile=destroyer.bin
log=true
LogFile = Rybka3.log
KibitzMove=true
KibitzPV=false
KibitzCommand=kibitz
KibitzDelay=5

[engine]
Hash = 128
Max CPUs=2048
NalimovPath=C:\YaY_Ultimate_3\WinBoard_x\TBs\
NalimovCache=8
NalimovUsage=1
Preserve Analysis=1
Saved Hash File=<empty>
Persistent Hash Enabled=false
Persistent Hash File=<empty>
Persistent Hash Play Depth=64
Persistent Hash Write Depth=10
Persistent Hash Size=16
Persistent Hash Merge File=<empty>
Ponder=True
MultiPV=1
MultiPV_cp=32768
Contempt Play=15
Contempt Analyze=0
UCI_EngineAbout=www.rybkachess.com
Time Buffer=0

There is only two settings: One that says if a book should be used and one that tells the path and name to the wanted book.

That's it, polyglot books used diferent heuristics than other book formats, so do no expect to see settings like the ones in chessbase programs like Fritz.

When they say

(optimize 0/100 learning:ON)


how do i do that in fritz 11 book options.

do i press optimize put minimum games to 0 and then up to move 100 then move the sliders for influene of learning and learning strength all the way up.

Yes.
