Hey guys. I see a lot of [potentially] helpful assistance given here. Most of the projects don't seem similar to my field of interest, so I am curious at least just to see what reaction I get.
The art in chess is conquering my past dream to continue learning programming or some hacking. As I set aside learning new programming languages, I put in place an increasing interest in the philosophy ties with chess openings and reaching conclusions.
I have been collecting video game chess engines. I want to get as much information about their "personalities" as I can.
There was little text I could find straight in the VC64 binary that was already in unencrypted English. If there is, here again, some form of compression set in place stopping me from looking at text notes, how can I learn what to do to unravel it?
The amount of work I am willing to go through, is limited mostly only by my abilities to be able to perform the task and the exceeding amount of free time I have at this point.
My primary interest is the opening book design. Generally, the first few moves recognized as theory in a chess game are made automatically by some chess engines set to then play "human-predefined moves", but analysis continues once opening theory has stopped. My only ways of finding the opening database VC64 uses are to keep plugging in every possible move until analysis must begin in all cases or to learn from resources unknown to me, how to translate from the game code to what I ask.
Thanks for any information.
