Go up one level in this thread



I disagree of their statement. Hiarcs 8 have been able to fail
in their evaluation of "one" position (another "top" programs fails
in "more than one" and in "all their games"). Hiarcs8, Shredder6 and
Century4 they have the best posicional evaluator.
A program is worth what is worth its positional evaluator and
its quantity of chess knowledge. Of anything it serves
the tactical search if the program doesn't understand that ago
and it evaluates incorrectly the last position.
Richard's Lang programs had the best posicional evaluator in your
moment, and had more than enough chess knowledge,
for that reason it won, I believe, 10 world championships (feat
that, by the way, it has not achieved, neither I believe that it
achieves, any other program.)
