I just wanted to let you all share some fun with me... :-)
I would like to show you a game of my own program against EXChess 2.46
which happened just after I made some aggressive changes to my
king-safety evaluation code.
And, of course, changing king-safety evaluation can also change a
program into an aggressive king-side attacker... and that's exactly
what happened in this game - a furious king-side attack against
EXchess. Just have a look at the moves from move 32 on.
It was real fun to watch this game! (at least for me as the programmer)
By the way, this was a game/5 played on a Pentium 200 MMX, both
programs had 8 MB hash tables and pondering was turned off for
both programs. The game was played using Winboard 4.0.
And the sad news: my program is still far away from being strong. The
same program version played only a few minutes before this game a match
against Arasan 4.1, the result was only 4.5 - 3.5 for my program...
Hmm, didn't want to say that Arasan is weak, but there are definitely
some much stronger engines out there.
Anyway, here's the game, have fun: :-)
