significantly extended version of endgame positions, now ~158000 unique positions, obtained in the same way as before (based on ~5M fishtest LTC games).

Do you think it would be good if there would a be a drop down menu with available books on the test setup page?

vondele commented 4 years ago

not sure. I think most of the tests should run with the current default, and a drop down suggests it's free choice. Second, how do we keep things in sync (i.e. in principle every book in this repo is available, but the fishtest repo doesn't necessarily need to know)?

vdbergh commented 4 years ago

I understand your point. After the regression disaster one should be wary of experiments for a while. On the other hand it is a bit sad that all these books are just sitting here and not doing anything (especially the endgame book)...

Keeping things in sync seems only a technical issue (there could for example be a file in the books repo with the available books, which fishtest could then download to build the drop down menu).
