Hi all, Just a few moments ago I concluded running the testsuite on my own program, albeit with only 1 minute per position. This is because it's a bit frustrating for me to not be able to use the computer for anything else for 16*10=160 minutes (yes, I like to program, I'm an addict :). It's a P2-400 by the way. Now I already saw Insomniac score pretty well using less than 10 seconds per position and I also saw the result of Ernst Heinz's program (113), but my result must be a statistical rarity. The score is: 129 (5 10 10 7 7 10 10 10 10 10 10 8 0 5 10 7) !!! No I don't think my program is brilliant, I'm only just starting to build in some positional knowledge. Probably what's happening is that the scores of the various moves must be very close in my eval() function, and by chance Pretz chooses the right ones. I also don't score nearly as well on other test suites. But still, it's uncanny, think I'm gonna buy some lottery tickets tomorrow, Pretz says he can conjure up some great numbers ;) Have any of you more-experienced-amateurs tried your programs on the suite? And what are your thoughts on your results and on the suite? I would be very interested in any replies. Thanks, Paul
