Go up one level in this thread


So I get the impression that when I try adjusting the tropism, king safety
factors, etc., I'm doomed to disappointment, I won't get "immensely aggressive"
Crafty, so much as "immensely unsound" Crafty. Well, I'll take a look anyway. I
just had ver. 18.9 analyze a game where an IM did a very bad thing to me at the
National Open this year -- Crafty (along with every other program I've had look
at this, including Fritz 6 and Century 3) doesn't understand what's going to
happen until it's way too late. But perhaps the vicious attack my opponent
launched will look more interesting to Crafty with heightened tropism, and a
higher bonus for reducing my king's safety -- it's too deep to spot through
normal analysis.
