<snip>> >Cr+book verses Ya+book >Cr-book verses Ya+book >Cr+book verses Cr-book >Ya+book verses Ya-book > With Cr+book verses Cr-book - I think the answer is obvious = cr+book will do better - but cr+book vs Ya-book or Cr-book vs Ya+book - does the book help there ? Intution and experience says yes - but by how much is it 100 points - is it more than 100 points - I don't know. So now that I am interested in this question , I just completed 100 games @ 2 6 where Yace scored 51% vs Crafty 17.16 SE 49% - both with books. The second round is 100 games Ya+book vs Cr-book @ 2 6. The third round is 100 games Ya-book vs Cr+book. The fourth round is 100 games Ya+book vs Ya-book. The fifth round is 100 games Cr+book vs Cr-book ================================================================== Below are test rounds where we know the expected result is 50% in attempt to gauge the randomness of results with book vs without book. You would think without book would be very close to 50%. With book we might see more variability in results - but perhaps not as large as above. ================================================================== The sixth round is 100 games Ya+book vs Ya+book (it should be 50%) The seventh round is 100 games Cr+book vs Cr+book (it should be 50%) The sixth round is 100 games Ya-book vs Ya-book (it should be 50%) The seventh round is 100 games Cr-book vs Cr-book (it should be 50%) ================================================================== It will take a few days to run.
