Version 0.4.3 is a rather bit improvement compared to 0.4.1, and the new 0.4.5 seems to be a big step upwards from 0.4.5. The improvements consist mostly of bug fixes in the evaluation function and much more aggressive dubious forward pruning. ;-) >That was a special version of Zappa, though, which performed poorly overall - it >just happened to do very well against Gothmog. Yes, I understood that. But you also wrote that the normal version of Zappa usually scored slightly more than 50% against Gothmog. >Zappa is still at least 100 elo weaker than Crafty. That's not bad at all! I haven't tested against Crafty for a long time, but I'm fairly sure Gothmog is at least 250 points behind Crafty on a single-processor 32 bit machine. Tord
