Bot not using opening book

[Jishnu2010]

I updated the code to make my bot use two opening books. But it's not using any one of them. From the start it plays using engine and thus wastes time in the opening. Here is the config.yml code: ` token: "REMOVED" # lichess OAuth2 Token url: "https://lichess.org/" # lichess base URL

engine: # engine settings dir: "./engines/" # dir containing engines, relative to this project name: "Stockfish.exe" # binary name of the engine to use protocol: "uci" # "uci" or "xboard" uci_ponder: true # think on opponent time; only works if "protocol" is "uci" polyglot: enabled: false # activate polyglot book book: standard: # list of book file paths for variant standard

• engines/bigbook.bin
• engines/book.bin

  atomic: # list of book file paths for variant atomic

  - engines/atomicbook1.bin

  - engines/atomicbook2.bin

  etc.

  use the same pattern for giveaway, crazyhouse, horde, kingofthehill, racingkings, 3check as well

  min_weight: 1 # selects move with highest weight but not below this value selection: "weighted_random" # move slection is one of "weighted_random", "uniform_random" or "best_move" (but not below the min_weight in 2. and 3. case) max_depth: 8 # half move max depth

  engine_options: # any custom command line params to pass to the engine

  cpuct: 3.1

  uci_options: # arbitrary UCI options passed to the engine Move Overhead: 100 # increase if your bot flags games too often Ponder: true Threads: 3 # max CPU threads the engine can use Hash: 256 # max memory (in megabytes) the engine can allocate

  go_commands: # additional options to pass to the UCI go command

  nodes: 1 # Search so many nodes only.

  depth: 5 # Search depth ply only.

abort_time: 20 # time to abort a game in seconds when there is no activity fake_think_time: false # artificially slow down the bot to pretend like it's thinking move_overhead: 100 # increase if your bot flags games too often

The token is removed. My bot's name is ChessBot13920

The code is not working here. I am sharing the file. FILE.docx

the actual file name is config.yml

In the config file you shared under polyglot: enabled: false # activate polyglot book. Should be set it to true to activate the book(s).

Thanks. It's working now
