Hi,
I just got this message. Since I haven't seen the previous ones can
anyone give me details ? Are you trying to use crafty books with
another chess engine ?
I packaged some opening books for Debian to be used with crafty.
AFAICT, there are no copyrights over chess moves (it would be like
trying to copyright football goals). If there were that'd be a great
problem for all tournament chess players: if one wanted to play one
particular variant of an opening during a match, he'd first write the
author to have his permission and/or pay rights to play such
variant...
