I do not say that it is easy to tune the evaluation function.

I agree that Gambittiger is better. I did not say that gambittiger is not a good program. I did not say that it is not the best. I only did not call it a new paradigm because the idea of big positional score is not new and gambittiger only generalized it for more cases. > >can you kill shredder 11.5 - 2.5 if you have only a few positional scores >higher than others ? that would show us that the programs we had before >were mistaken in having to low positional scores. i do remember very well >that e.g. shredder had very high positional scores. shredder and hiarcs. > > >i can do a battle between latest crafty and gambit-tiger with the >winboard-autoplayer-system, if you want. I did not say that gambittiger is not better than crafty but only that the idea of big positional scores is used also in crafty in some cases. Uri
