It's nice to have the fastest engine and the best features. I write my own custom polyglot books, and there is one more feature (maybe two) I would absolutely love to have. Could you have an option to limit how much you use the book? The naive way is just to say don't use it after say 40 ply. But what I actually want is to do some probing to see the max depth left in the tree, because if there are variations 20 ply deep still left in the tree, it is probably a strong move, but if the depth left in the tree is 2, I would want my engine to take over in long games.\r\n\r\nThe other idea is related to it, can't I be pondering while I am in book? Especially when I get to the end of my book and play the last move in it, I shouldn't have to wait for his response to start thinking. This would be very helpful for faster games using big hash tables since it takes several seconds to initialize and get up to speed on my machine."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/lantonov/asmFish/issues/comments/298244847","html_url":"https://github.com/lantonov/asmFish/issues/48#issuecomment-298244847","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/lantonov/asmFish/issues/48","id":298244847,"user":{"login":"hero2017","id":20324387,"avatar_url":"https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/20324387?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/hero2017","html_url":"https://github.com/hero2017","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hero2017/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hero2017/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hero2017/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hero2017/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hero2017/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hero2017/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hero2017/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hero2017/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hero2017/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2017-04-30T17:22:37Z","updated_at":"2017-04-30T17:22:37Z","body":"Thanks for the tips guys. I've recently been experimenting with Scid too but when opening the converted Cerebellum_light.bin book using asmF to polyglot and opening it in Scid, I only see one move from the book. The rest is only displayed when clicking Opponent's Move and you can't edit anything. The only thing I can do is add a move (which seems stupid since the move already exists as an opponent's move) but it's the only way to add a weight to the move. And while you can add moves, you can't even delete them.\r\n\r\nWith Winboard, can I edit the polybook.bin file directly and change weights etc? I've never used Winboard...I always thought it was just the older protocol which is now replaced with UCI so I didn't realize there's actually a program called Winboard. Will see if I can download it with help from Google.  Then I'll report back if I've any issues. I'm new to editing books but after recently playing some games on IC I realized that is really what decides between you winning and losing...the hardware plays a small role in comparison."}}
