Absurdly not true. I doubt any commercial programmer releases an upgrade without doing some development of the evaluation function. Most programmers spend their time either looking at the search algorithms, the evaluation function and I assume less than 10% of the time trying to make the existing code faster. >I don't know if Tiger is better that WChess (usign equal hardware), neither >it interests me , but if I know that 7 years ago it achieved a better >performance against GM's with an inferior hardware, and I don't believe that >the GM underestimates its strength (they were played a lot of money). Look at the SSDF http://home3.swipnet.se/~w-36794/ssdf/nr000.htm >I am not a programmer, alone I buy programs and I believe that every time they >play worse . Easy solution to your problems - stop buying chess programs! Regards, Steve
