Playing the opening at the strength of Fritz 6, or even better, is not hard for a computer, and this sort of approach should achieve it. This kind of thing might impress people, but it won't win more games. If you want Yace to play stronger, concentrate on improving the chess engine, both for searching speed, and for more positional knowledge. >Are there certain opening lines that computer engines have problems with? >If so, I would like to put these into the Yace book also. Any opening line where Yace has lost a game by getting an inferior position before move 25. If you do a book, the important thing is to put things in it that avoid these positions. If you can make Yace automatically update its book when it loses a game, that will save you future work.
