These are guide books intended for use with Rodent III chess engine.
They should be used in conjunction with a main book (rodent.bin)
and are meant to guide the game stylistically.
active.bin - seeks dynamic positions, based on Kasparov's games without
QGD but with Benoni thrown in to stir things up.
cat.bin - Catalan, classical Queen's Indian, g3 KID as White, Grunfeld and accelerated Dragon
as Black. Needs a real book in reserve.
cs.bin - d4, occasionally c4 as White, Caro-Kann and Slav as Black, occasionally
tries Nimzo-Indian. Requires strong main book, as it choses sharp lines.
empty.bin - empty book. Can be declared as a main book for weak personalities
if we want limited opening knowledge.
flank.bin - plays flank openings, likes fianchettoing bishops;
based on games by Tomasz Markowski with some lines added by hand.
grandpa.bin - small book, Caro + Tarrasch as main Black options, Ruy + Nimzo as a backup,
prefers d4 to e4 as White
kasparov.bin - Kasparov's games from PgnMentor as the first layer
+ 1980 to 2006 games as the second layer
low.bin - minimal book which tries to start with a couple of moves that
do not reach the 4th or the 5th rank.
nimzowitsch.bin - Nimzowitsch's games form PgnMentor collection as the first layer
+ pre-1930 games from Norm Pollock's collection as the second layer
petrosian.bin - Petrosian's games form PgnMentor collection as the first layer
+ 1931 to 1980 games from Norm Pollock's collection as the second layer
solid.bin - Karpov + Uhlmann
tricky.bin - Morozevich's games + a lot of handcrafting. Wide and tricky.
