================= Hiarcs8 Tournament Book ====================== from Chessbase: http://www.chessbase.com/download/index.asp?cat=Hiarcs+8 The original Hiarcs 8 tournament book by Eric Hallsworth. The broader book on the Hiarcs 8 CD was obtained by merging unselected master games with the tournament book and thus allows the program to play inferior lines. While this CD book is fine for training and fun, you should always install the pure tournament book where playing strength is the aim. Follow the instructions in the readme file. Easy to install. Download compressed Tournament Book (800kB) ================= BOOK ==================================== Your book has to work well with your engine, good book for Shredder will not work well for Fritz, and maybe even bad for Junior. So dont use the same book with different engines !!!! If you want, you can make copy of original book for example Fritz8 book and call it Fritz8_Junior and use it only with Junior, make another copy, call it Fritz8_Fritz8 use it only with Fritz8. That is very important !!! Make a backup of your book often, like once a month is good. Just copy it to different directory call the directory with book name, month, year. Make additional backup if you want to import some new games, you can always use the older version if the new changes are not good. =========================================================== Good Openings for White: 1e4 this move will win more than other openings, but it will loose more too 1d4 difficult to get advantage when black plays correctly 1c4 similar to 1d4 1Nf3 similar to 1d4 Good Opening for Black after 1e4: Sicilian French Petroff Ruy Lopez Good Opening for Black after 1d4: KingIndian QueenIndian Nimzo QueenGambit Slav Defence Bad Openings for Black after e4: Pirc Defence Bad Openings for Black after 1d4: Volga/Benko I tried with different engines and white was winning most games =========================================================== After 1e4 c5 2c3: 2...d5 is not good 2...Nf6 is better By the way 1e4 c5 2c3 is the only variant played by some players on Playchess.com =========================================================== B66 good for black D16 good for white E04 good for white and black |
