If I set the"min game length" box to zero, the Process button is grayed out. Zo I set the "min game length" box to 1 and "repeat at least" box to zero.Can you set both "min game length" and "repeat at least" boxes to zero (in Game condition) then re-create books? That allows BSG to take all games and save to books.
Here is how the books looks like if I compare them. I used the same settings to make the bin book an the pgn book.
The variations in the pgn book are not in the right order. Not al main lines are on top. But that's maybe because I made a ctg book from the pgn book. I can also use Chess Position Trainer to display the pgn books or COW, or Lucas Chess. Are there some other ways to display the pgn book? And to be able to delete or add variations that way?
It's interesting to see that there are now many more variation in the pgn book than in the bin book.
I like that because if I make a repertoire book I don't have to search for moves if they are already included. I always can delete variation if I don't like them, that's faster and better then having to look for new variations.
In Chessbase there is an option to display un-played transposition in a ctg book. Sometimes these un-played transpositions are included in a bin book made from the same games. Sometimes they are not included and sometimes other un-played transpositions are included.
I also use the book making option from the old software Bookbuilder. http://superchess.blogspot.com/
I open the program make a new book and save it. Than I import the pgn games in the book and and save the book as
bps book.
Than I use the program bb36c find in the installation directory of Bookbuilder and I export the book to a Yace pgn engine book. I open this pgn book in Chessbase and copy the games to a new database to normalize the pgn. I also un-annotate the games.
The books made in Bookbuilder finds the most un-played transpositions.
But more is maybe not always better. Maybe it would be better if only interesting un-played transpositions where added. Or maybe some setting when making a pgn book, to choose what count, or how many un-played transpositions wil be included.
I'm not a programmer, I just look for best ways to make a repertoire.
