What they call a "parameter" is for example the value of a white rook on A1.
There are 6 piece types, 2 sides, and 64 squares. That makes already 768
parameters.
Hey I've got thousands of parameters in Tiger then!
They were better in search, that's for sure, because of their processing power.
Better in evaluation? That remains to be proved.
