Convert from .ctg to .fbk

Post by zappa79 »

Is it possible to convert Fritz opening books .ctg to fritz3 opening books .fbk?
If it is, then how can it be done?

this is of extreme importance to me, thoug I often play chess on my pocket device and would like to have the best opening book that I can find!

Thanks in advance!

Anyone?

Is this not possible?

There must be a way to convert books from one format to another?

No necesarilly, there are few book formats that their heuristics has been made public, Polyglot falls in this category and maybe others like Arena but not sure, what I know for sure is that Chessbase has not disclosed theirs and therefore makes it impossible for developers to make a book translation tool between Chessbase and others.

Your best bet is to make your own books, almost every GUI offers book making tools.

Good luck,
Using engines to cheat:
- It is not ethical,
- It is useless, nothing is gained (how can one be proud of a score earn with dishonesty?)
- You will be baned, sooner or later,
- It gives us (the true chess engine players) a bad reputation.
