But I will say that it's no >highflyer positionally (darn ... it just bit me again), I like to tweak my >search for tactics & mates, not the eval ... :( I believe (but perhaps I am a know-nothing on the subject) that almost *all* of the intelligence and knowledge is in the search, and very little in the eval. In looking at all of the programs that play very strongly, I notice that all of them have sophisticated searches. Generally a clever negascout or something positively darling like Phalanx. In fact, if you have a terrific search, it can overcome an enormous number of other foibles. >>How does it do on LCT II? > >Dunno ... never tested that one, looks too difficult for now! :) Here: ftp://cap.connx.com/pub/EPD/LCT2.EPD Why not humor me by giving it a go?
