hoichess for Debian ------------------- Frontends: This Software is useful with a frontend to play with. Successfully tested is the current version of knights. Also the famous analysis and database frontend scid is working perfectly with hoichess. More information: http://www.hoicher.de/hoichess http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/index.html http://www.tim-mann.org/chess.html Opening Book there is currently no opening book distributed for hoichess. We have the source code of the gnuchess opening book in debian already. I will talk to the maintainer and maybe provide a patch that his package produces an opening book for hoichess also. As long as this takes you can get an opening book by hand: apt-get source gnuchess-book find the .pgn file and do: echo "book create openingbook.bin openings.pgn 0 10" | hoichess This will take about 1-2 minutes and produces a binary opening book. hoichess can be called like this to use this opening book: hoichess --book openingbook.bin -- Oliver Korff , Sat, 19 Dec 2005 22:01:56 +0100
