if you created the book with white wins only then yes the book will show lines of white alone.

if you created with white and black wins, and on the first move is 1. e4 and when you click e4 it shows nothing it means that black doesnt have victories after 1. e4


REMEMBER: when you create a book with wins the book only take the moves from the winning side.

exampe:
lets say white won with this line on the book
it will appear like this: (as you see, black will not have moves, unless on the certain position it had a victory)

Perfect explanation many thanks so one could make a wins white only then a blacks wins draw and merge with the white yes?
I'm trying to create a book like Mr Sedat did in a tour

I just don't know which book maker you are using. But there's an Eman book maker. Lets say you have a database having wins for both colours and draws.

The book maker will create white and black wins book (wb.bin) , D.bin (draw book) and Eman.bin (a combination of wb.bin and D.bin)

There's also another one by massimilliano goi, which will also enable one to merge


So to answer your question yes. You could first separate white wins and black and draw and merge the final product to your liking but the Eman book maker does that for you in one try.

But you must first check your database, you might find that some games were won on time. I have worked alot with lichess database thats why i created that tool to separate the timeloss games aside.

Great i will try this and release a new book soon thanks for info
