API
Functions
Polyglot exposes following functions -
find(fen, bookFile, findBest)
find takes a fen string and a book file path and looks up the hash in the book file. If findBest is true it returns the best move according to the weight otherwise it returns a random move with the given hash. The chance of a random move being returned is in proportion to its weight. If no move is found it returns an empty string.
hash(fen)
hash takes a fen string and returns its polyglot hash.
