Are there any free CTG openings books out there for download? Links?

 

  • Maybe a book based on Elo 2500+ games?
  • Maybe a book based on Elo 2700+ games?
  • Maybe one that gets updated with new GM games regularly?

I don't use database of 2500-2700 people because there are database of 3500+ rated machine available now. Actually these books are built with very deep analysis, the rating and accuracy is probably 3700- 3800+. The good point is they are free and currently updating.

A kind of book format mainly used by chessbase ( German software Giant company).

There are a lot of book formats. Another popular one is polyglot.

 

The main theme is GUI ( your software) must support your book format.
