CTG Book Support #119

Closed EmptikBest closed 1 year ago

EmptikBest commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Nope

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like so CTG book support could be added into BotLi if possible, also I'm sorry if it feels like I am spamming enhancement requests.

Describe alternatives you've considered Not any so far.

Additional context Maybe a section in the config.yml:

ctg:
   - book1.ctg
   - book2.ctg

Or something like that

BotLi uses the amazing python-chess library, also to read polyglot books. But it does not support CTG books at the moment, but it was a topic there before see niklasf/python-chess#46 (8 years ago).

I don't plan to implement a CTG reader myself, as the format seems quite complex and consists of several files per book. The linked CTG specification is also offline by now. If python-chess supports CTG books in the future, I will probably make use of it in BotLi.
