Best GUI to create Polyglot book by hand?

[Steve Maughan]

I'd like to create a polyglot book of a Chessable course I'm doing. It'll require me to play through the variations and add each playable move to the book. What's the best GUI for doing this?

Thanks,

Steve

I always use WinBoard/XBoard for that. There you can add the moves to the book by playing them on the board, which makes it less error prone. (For me, at least.)

I use Polyglot Toletant to create Polyglot books:

And SCID for editing the book:

It looks like this:

You asked for a GUI, but isn't it faster to play all your variations with your favorite GUI and then import the PGN?

Code: Select all

polyglot make-book -pgn games.pgn -bin book.bin -min-game 1 -uniform
