Subject: Another Way to Make Comparisons of Engines More Accurate

Author: Robert Henry Durrett

Date: 09:55:57 08/28/98


Why not obtain, and create a library of, the opening books of all of the current
chess engines [maybe others not so current too - maybe] and test all engines
with all of the books?

This may be too big a project, so may not be practical for that reason alone.

The thought behind this suggestion is that such a testing program would point
out any dependences on books as well as to make comparisons of the "engines
without their books" more informative relative to the true inherent strengths
and weaknesses of the engines. It might also point out highly specific needs for
improvements in some of the engines.
