It learned me how I had underestimated the importance of compteition... Terra has played against most of the available freeware mostly short games (10 minutes or 30 minutes) played overnight. I don't have the patiense to play a lot of long games waiting for programming time. Allmost all of the matches has been played on the same machine. That means that pondering is not used. Furthermore the hash table size is smaller than ideal conditions. The opening books used are quiet small and no program have used end game table bases. Therefore the conditions are not really ideal and some programs are hurted more than others from this but I don't care. That's not the point with my testing. I don't care if Phalanx is stronger than Little Goliath or vice versa. I'm just trying to develop my own program...:-) Under these conditions I would rate my program somewhere in between Crafty and Little Goliath. My favourite opponent is Comet because it is so even. I have a feeling that Comet is most hurted from these game conditions and L. Goliath is earning from it. Just a hunch... //Peter
