Development of a basic database in *.pgn file format
----------------------------------------------------
###########################
Time of project: ~ 8 months
###########################
You can find here a collection of selected "FCP Rating List" games (~ 80%), newer missed
grandmasters theory games from 2014-2016 (~ 5%) and additional game material on rare
opening lines which I haven't at first (~ 15%).
Games are from selected "FCP Rating List" material based on my own "FCP Live Book", that
were under many years of development. With my own "FCP Live Book" engines try to find often
new lines on its own after the end of ECO code lines.
Summarized, my basics comes from:
- high quality TOP-50 computer chess games on Intel® Core™ i7-4770K hardware with 4Ghz and
40 moves in 10 minutes with an Elo average from around ~ 2950-2975.
Please have a look under: http://www.amateurschach.de/main/_conditions.htm
80% of these material aren't susceptible for fast 3-fold-repetition.
- high quality correspondence games
- high quality grandmaster games
I am working most of times with Chessbase & TWIC databases.
Before I start the project, alpha.pgn was cleaned and where analyzed with:
1. Stockfish January 16th, 2017 BMI2 x64
2. Komodo 10.3 BMI2 x64
- Intel® Core™ i7-4770K, 4.1 GHz
- 4 cores, used 8 cores (4x Hyperthreading)
- Windows 7 Professional x64
- 2Gb for hash tables
- 30 seconds per end position
Main interest:
--------------
- a strong PGN database for engine-engine matches / tourneys / rating list systems.
- a strong PGN database for openings book developers.
- a strong PGN database for Arena Chess GUI "PGN-Random" feature.
- a strong PGN database for building test-sets for engine research.
- opening book in Shredder Classic GUI *.bkt format
I am still working on it!
- opening book in Polyglot format (will be later available).
- opening book for Wasp by John Stanback (will be later available).
Additional information:
-----------------------
- "move transpositions" are included (important for opening book developers).
- length of lines = 3 moves after the ECO code was formed, minimal 4-6 moves.
Please have a look in the file: eco-codes-length_for-alpha-files.txt
- nevertheless, enough _balanced_ lines to all 500 ECO codes are inside in alpha.pgn.
Note: To many of ECO codes it isn't easy to find _balanced_ lines!
Good examples: A51, A59, A64, A74, B85, C38, C58, C74, D62, E80, E85, E87
"Let's find the engines better theory moves"
Current status
--------------
10 engines will be analysed the same alpha.epd
alpha.epd = without doubles (move-transpositions)
alpha.pgn = without doubles (move-transpositions)
basics.pgn = with move-transpositions (important for opening books)
- Intel® Core™ i7-5930K, 4.0 GHz
- 6 cores, used 10 cores (4x Hyperthreading)
- Windows 10 Professional x64
- 4Gb for hash tables
- 60 seconds per end position

Helping persons:
----------------
- Norm Pollock
without Norm and his tools and helps all isn't possible!
- Ferdinand Mosca
Created a game extractor program to extract games in pgn format from a given pgn file
and epd file with analysis or ce opcode.
- Timo Haupt
will be checked by engines reject lines!
Other helps are welcome anytime!
