Practice openings

[chesslover001]

I’d like to create a line of moves to practice. Is it possible to force HIRCS to play a certain line of opening moves?

Perhaps to create my own opening book that HIRCS will play?

This is very simple to do. Manually enter the opening moves you want. Then go to either engine match or play from the current position. I often see a new line and have Stockfish play Hiarcs or Komodo, alternating colors. To see what others do from that line, if you have a large database, go to tree explorer, select that database in the filter option and all the stats will come up. Then export a separate database from the filtered games.
