I know that "bin" files are opening books and I use them in CuteChess for example. As I understand it "Knowledge Base" is a particularily large and well curated one?
I've browsed your site and learned a lot about how you make those books and that there are many tools to help book creation. I wonder if this is a one-way street, though? Is it possible to reverse the process and extract the positions again into a non-binary format? Can I create EPDs from all the positions in the book together with additional information like the the winning ratio's from this position?

Is the knowledge base available as a pgn?
Most of the Knowledge Base I extract from MillionBase (3.5 million games) and a Correspondence database of 2 million games and I don't have an interest to keep the extracted PGN's since they are not of any use once they have been analyzed. Not sure what your interest is but I still have the PGN's of the 25 gambits I analyzed, if you want to have them lemme know else they sooner or later are trashed.
90% of coding is debugging, the other 10% is writing bugs.

Hi Ed,
only reason I asked was because I could have created a book for ChessGUI using the pgn file.

Graham.
I suspected that looks interesting to me adding some gambits to the CCRL testing, I (still) have the 25 PGN's listed at -
