But I am a bit of a pessimist about this. I can easily imagine someone trying it at reporting good results when the program is actually weaker. They would say, "yeah, I tried it and it worked pretty good!" or "Yeah, I looked at some games and it was playing much better."
I would be satisfied if someone implemented it, reported a 500 game self-test sample and concluded that it didn't hurt the program measurably and show a few examples of how it improved the moves cosmetically, perhaps even comparing both version with specific positions. I wouldn't be opposed to fixing my program if I couldn't measure a weakening and got better looking moves in the ending. - Don > s. > > > On Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 8:30 AM, Don Dailey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Christoph Birk wrote: >> > On Mar 5, 2008, at 11:58 AM, Don Dailey wrote: >> >>> Don Dailey wrote: >> >>>> not assuming that MC plays the best move.
