Hi Bruce, >I've seen several people hail various programs as brilliant in the original >position, but I suggest that a combination of smart and coincidentally lucky >doesn't add up to real brilliance. I do not think that the various "test position" threads relate to anything like "brilliance" in any way. People hail and condemn various programs all the time -- no big deal ... What caught my eye in this special case, though, was the huge negative evaluation of "Crafty" and "Hossa" as reported early in the thread. Both are due to severe evaluation errors IMHO. Moreover, I am convinced that well-tuned search extensions for pushes of passed Pawns are extremely important here (as I already mentioned). Without them, chances to see through the maze are very low for any chess program. =Ernst=
