Go up one level in this thread


Amir, if all the programmers provide their  autoplay drivers to the SSDF
and to nobody else, this will slow down the progress of chess engine
software. Autoplay lets programmers learn much more about where their
program is going wrong. There will also be complete power in the hands
of the SSDF with no one to check their results. I would much rather have
everytning out in the open rather than have 1 organization control the
play of secret autoplay drivers. My suggestion of having programmers
being allowed to supply new tournament opening books to the SSDF
whenever they want would certainly eliminate book cooking for ever, not
to mention that learning algorithms have gone a long way towards solving
this.
