Bookbuilder Download Page


On this page you can download the latest - 14 day trial- version (4.0.8),
useful for ALL chess players (especially beginners), of
BOOKBUILDER

Bookbuilder has two unique features, and is probably
the only chess program in the world which has these features combined:

1) the program always tries to play the 'best' openingbook move (eg 1 e4!)
(depending on end evaluations, eg. with a certain 'engine'
other chess programs try to find the 'best' move with percentages/statistics,
but this 'obviously' cannot be very accurate)
2) With an 'interface' you can play with a 'normal' chess
program, using a Bookbuilder generated book as a big advantage
