Go up one level in this thread


Not to much differnt from the default, I just add nul_low 4, and nval 1.  I also
do:

resign
with the threshold -9 for 5 moves.

My opinion on null_low 4 is that its better at faster time controls, weaker at
slower.  But its still seems to be doing ok on the ICC regardless.  Wonder what
would happen if i tried null_low 5 ;).

I use nval 1 because Yace was pitching 2 minors for a r and p way to much.  I
don't see that as much anymore and as a result, Yace plays much stronger.

I built a book out of 510,000 games.  Its only 110 megs in size ;).

I did a test run with null_low 4 vs 10 other engines, the resulting rating for
null_low 4 landed up being 40 points higher then the default.  Of course, I
figure it needs more testing to be sure, but as I said, I suspect that null_low
4 is good for quick time controls.
