Thanks Bob for very interesting report. A couple of loose thoughts... Recapture extension is intuitively no good for tactical suite for a simple reason: all tactical lines give up temporarily material. And lines with exchanging down pieces are not 'beautiful' for humans - which was probably one of conditions for selecting a 'tactical' position into set like WAC. It is hard to say if your program plays weaker or stronger in practical games because of it. And, btw, one of Craftys strengths is exchanging down to won endgame. Maybe some sort of nunn-type match between 2 versions can give more data about it? And if you come down to think about the trend - It would be interesting to run your test with recapture extension going below zero....:) -Andrew-
