I suspect that the engine would perform better if I tuned down the aggressivity a bit, but at least for the moment I am more interested in entertaining play than in results. >You might consider (if you haven't already) trying different weightings for >overall king safety, to see the effect on performance. However, as I'm sure you >know, it's really hard to play enough games to use this method to tune the eval. It is. For me there is also another problem, which you hint at in your first paragraph above: My search and eval are rather intertwined, and they need to be tuned to work well together. Simply reducing the king safety weights in my eval probably won't work well. It is necessary to tune the search to work well with the modified eval. >You might also find it interesting to get access to Shredder. It has quite a >similar style to Gothmog, but more accurate.
