A new Yace book is available for download.

I've increased the number of games to 66320 without duplicates, thereby hopefully closing a few holes. The size is about 4Mb zipped and 6Mb unzipped. The depth is still 20ply due to size limitation.
I haven't really been testing the book yet, so feedback would be nice.
Best wishes...

Quite test..Looks good..Reasonable range of openings..


Only one weird line, I saw so far

1 e4 e5 2 f4 d5 3 ed ef?!
Not sure, but IMHO Black's third move might be considered very bad..

There's probably quite a few weird lines, but hopefully rare and therefore not very probable. I'm looking forward to the implementation of comments to avoid frequent and dubious moves.
Best wishes...

True..
I also tried the old anti-computer trick of the stonewall attack..
The straight forward 1 d4 d5 2 e3 Nf6 3 Bd3 is well countered by your book..3..c5 4 c3 Nf6 5 f4 Bg4 etc..
But the move order 1 d4 Nf6 2 e3 e6 3 Bd3 d5 4 f4 nc6 5 c3 etc seems to work..

Apparently that is black's best line in the king's gambit theoretically! That is the modern variation By transposition!

You might be right..However, must white play 4 Nf3 to transpose?I have no idea..But let me check the books..
