Cake for Linux with opening book released

Peter Chiochetti has published Cake 1.20 with an opening book for Linux. The book is based on a huge opening database of over 1.5 million positions, and is probably nearly error-free. Get the new version of Linux-Cake on the xcheckers page!

An opening book for Linux-Cake

Peter Chiochetti recently revamped his checkers interface for Linux. The best engine for this interface is an old version of my checkers program, Cake++ 1.19. Yesterday, I added some code to it to handle an opening book and built a 115'000 move opening book from my opening database for it. Peter will first have to check my new code for compatibility issues with Linux, so it may take a while for this new version to appear on Peter's website. The book should be virtually error-free and worth the wait.
