Rc6 is a typical example. a normal chess player considers about such a move. ask chess players about the move Rc6 and they will say: easy job. same for gambit-tiger. it plays those moves without much thinking. same counts for cstal. its trivial. >I'm waiting for others to adapt. resistance is futile. gambit-tiger will kill them. >Hey, this is Gambit Tiger 1.0. > >This engine is almost not tuned at all. It was supposed to be just a bonus for >the Rebel 11 CD! :-)))) right. don´t let them stop your enthusiasm. its pretty normal that such a program is a little unstable in the first efforts. chris and i need years to tune accurate. to keep the noise balanced. but it was worth doing so. someone has to climb on that mountain and has to show that it works. why ? "because it`is there !" said captain kirk. >>There is also deep water. I'm only aware of _one_ person that was able >>to successfully walk on water. Some 2,000 years ago. :) >Oh yes. His name began with the letters "C", "H", "R", "I", "S"... >Mmh... Now I'm in deep water. :) jesus! :-)) now we get the religious overdrive. playing moves like Rc6 needs believers. if you don´t believe, you will not be able to push a mountain away.
