Hello Don, I have the same situation with an older program that has a more
sophisticated data strucutre. If I was building a smarter program I would rather use the older but slower code but I cannot optimize it any further for simple randomly uniform play-outs. If I compared the old code doing simple play-outs to the old code doing the sophisticated evaluation, it might not look so bad because the older program is doing uneeded work that is of no benefit to a simple program.
You are 100% right. However, you could design an optimized version from scratch for the sophisticated evaluation that would run much faster. I believe in a *2,*3 speed. Sylvain
