Play online chess		 Subject: Programming an OB

Message:
I am thinking about constructing an opening book repertoire when I have time this summer. I was thinking, instead of the pencil&paper file-folder method, of using some programming to impliment it, maybe with an ASCII graphics display showing the board and game tree: at critical move x connect an example game branch with corresponding analytic score and current state displayed. I would not be using an engine directly in a game. However, is this still a violation of GK's game rules, since I would be, technically, using the engine's analytic scores? Also, for those who have considered this before, is this a feasible program to construct using basic object oriented programming (the limit of my abilities)?

Milestone for a Benefactor of Historic Matches — Jacqueline Piatigorsky, one of the most important figures in American chess in the 1960s, turned 100 this month. Piatigorsky, a member of the Rothschild banking family, was married to the cellist Gregor Piatigorsky, and together they sponsored three significant chess events. The first was a 1961 match between Bobby Fischer and Samuel Reshevsky, the two best American chess players. It was a best-of-16 match, and after 11 games, each man had won twice and the other games were draws. And that is how it ended. Fischer quit after a fight with Mrs. Piatigorsky over the scheduling of the 12th game. (Fischer wanted an afternoon game so he could sleep in, and she wanted a morning game so she ...
