Go up one level in this thread


the crafty.rc file is very simple:
=======================
krafty beginner
ponder=off (why bother to turn it on? - I should probably make this setting
embedded in the weaker settings - but with the low search depth - it doesn't
really matter)
xboard (needed for some GUI's)
exit
=======================

by definition, this will set up the following parameters:
off piece valuations will enable it to play moves that are unsound - and easier
for a beginner play to capitalize on - howver it will still capitalize on the
opponent mistakes - just not as harshly

		QUEEN_values=550;
		ROOK_values=400;
        	BISHOP_values=300;
		KNIGHT_values=300;
		PAWN_values=225;
		learning=0;
		search_depth=3;
		book_selection_width=5;
		book_random=1;

or you could try:
=======================
krafty club
xboard exit
=======================
it will play aggressive with sometimes speculative queen attacks/sacrifices with
a seach depth of 7

                QUEEN_values=750;
		ROOK_values=450;
        	BISHOP_values=300;
		KNIGHT_values=300;
		PAWN_values=125;
		learning=0;
		king_safety_asymmetry=50;
		king_safety_tropism=150;
		search_depth=7;
		book_selection_width=5;
		book_random=1;
