I have given myself a fun coding challenge to subconsciously divert my attention from actually studying chess. Can I create an auto-generated opening course/book pgn-file using Chatgpt and Stockfish in a week?
Opening courses are expensive, but people gladly buy them in the hopes that they will be the armour that will protect them against playing poor moves at their next chess tournament. I remember GM Jan Gustafsson referring to creating opening files as pushing the spacebar, which may be a bit satirical, but is it really possible to replace the humans with an engine spacebar-pusher and generate something useful? Do we need the grandmaster to help us through the opening?
Let us try to find out and see if it is possible to disturb the whole opening course industry with ChatGPT and Stockfish.
If you want to contribute and influence this experiment please vote below, so you can help decide the repertoire we will generate.
Let us see what the result will be. Regardless if this will be a complete disaster or not I will share the opening repertoire with you by the end of the week for critique (and maybe we can laugh at the Frankenstein creation).
Finally, (for prompt optimization) which chess writer do you like the best?

I have very few chess books but from what I have and the articles I have read online, I like Jeremy Silman's style :)
