book move detail
Sort:
When running a game against a bot on assisted it will display that I did a “book” move but gives no explanation on which book. It would be nice to know which one was used or a list of them to chooses from to help learn them. Would also be nice to see a list of openings that can still be played based on white or blacks past move up to turn 7-10 if it’s still following that. Clicking on it might show arrows for next 5 possible moves. I think it would be a good way to learn openings, especially gambits or traps in a game vs a video or tutorial.

Book move just means the move is one in the database, generally those that are well known lines and played by masters at a minimum threshold. There's are some exceptions for thematic type openings (for example Bongcloud or the Cow)
The book is just a database of games, not actual books.
