[Scidvspc-users] Optimized Opening Database for Tree Window

[Steve S. <li...@da...>]

Hi,

I'd like to create or download an opening database to open in the Tree Window.

What I'd really like is to open the performance.bin opening book in the tree window.  That's the way the Hiarcs Chess Explorer works: the selected opening book automatically appears in the opening tree window - perfect.

I've been unable to find an comprehensive opening database in pgn or scid format.  So, perhaps I'll have to create one.  

My idea would be to export, from a large database, all positions that have been played 2 or more times by players rated greater than such and such.  Is there a way to do that?  Has anyone undertaken such an endeavour?

Also, as I've mentioned to Steve, I'd like the option to always open that database as a tree on startup.

Cheers,

Steve
