I think that evaluation changes are even harder than search changes to test. This makes the development effort more difficult. I also think that many programs do not have a good framework for adding evaluation knowledge, so there are big limitations on what knowledge can be implemented. All in all, I don't really know the answer ... what was the question again? :-) Peter > >A successful effort in search get a reward 9 times bigger than a succesful >effort in positional evaluation. > >Not to say that work on positional evaluation can be ignored. > >I notice that some chess players tend also to agree that chess is essentially a >matter of search (tactics). > > > > Christophe
