It was quite easy to get Altamax to autotune its evaluation parameters so that
it played substantially better than the hand-tuned version. It took less time
than hand-tuning too.

Getting autotuning to work WELL required some work, but was still easier than
hand-tuning the coefficients.

I use TD-leaf, which I got from some paper on the internet.
