For those who are less aware of what this thread (and several others in CCC) are about, please check out Shep's fascinating site. Here I quote the page: http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Ring/8448/chessindex2.html from whence: "the so-called "Walter-Pilz-settings" [W-P] (Att./Def. -4, Select. 10, Mat.Pos. 4, Mob. 103, King Saf. 170, Pawn Weakn. 125), plus my special piece values [SPV](Queen 10, Rook 5.5, Bishop 3.5, Knight 3.3 - similar to MChess 7 which has Knight=3.25). Standard opening book. [Supposedly stronger than CM 5500.]" 1. What statistical evidence is there to support the contention that these settings produce better results than the default? While I realise that it is play against a variety of programs run on other computers that is the key here, I report my own findings of W-P + SPV played in auto-tournaments against the standard personality... The standard wins, both at fast games and at less fast games. 2. How were these settings arrived at? :-) Kind regards fca
