Just an idea (posted to Ed 3 month ago). What do other programmers think? Concept: Establish a possibility to let the ProgramX play (profile) adaptive or non-adaptive rel. users request, i.e. a mode where the ProgramX "collects" information about its opponent and then applies to gameplay. E.g. tends the opponent to play closed/open positions, to offer qualities, to handle pawns especially well, to go for short or long castling, to play aggressive (fast kingattacks) or the opposite. To emphasis bi-sh-ops-/knights, etc. etc. (Others knows that stuff much better). A possible implementation could go like this (schematic): Make testsuite: (a "closed" playing-environment of e.g. min. 50 games, where the user can chose to play or not, i.e. if yes he continues (is bound to) where he left the last time he played in the suite. The suite of cause is compiled and stored). If no he just plays ProgramX as ProgramX. Do profile: After e.g. min. 50 games ProgramX analyses (or do this consecutive during playing the suite, e.g. allocating 10% of CPU-time, which is realistic with to days speed) to a) Do profile (characteristics could be identified) and weights to the knowledgeparameters of Pro-gramX are attached. b) Profile couldn't be determined with certainty, then: 1) continue suite or 2) start new or 3) abandon. This could surely combines with choice of the openingbooks/-lines If a, this would leave the user with 3 alternatives: 1) Play ProgramX "as ProgramX" ;-) 2) Play ProgramX as adaptive ProgramX, i.e. test "own kind of gameplay" against an opponent that with certainty is much stronger in tactics and perhaps in other aspects, too. 3) Play ProgramX as non-adaptive, i.e. play against "a worst case" opponent, You know the statement: "I like closed and quiet positions and tends to get to them…". That kind of intelligence I would love and the perspectives of developing the profiles, according to new testsuites, based on the users development seems very attractive to me. A chessprogram, that actual "responds". But as mentioned - just a thought. Best regards, kim
