My eval is really stupid, yet i'm surprised by how well the program does. Just material + central control + harebrained king safety plays ok once you get a 8 ply seach, but it needs a little more endgame smarts. The eval is definitely where i need to do some work. > >I think that the fact that your program has better branching factor should be >decisive at long time control but the fact that tscp searches more nodes per >seocnd should be decisive at blitz. I think you're right... I did a little more testing.. TSCP gets to 4 ply a lot faster.. They seem to even out between 5-6 ply.. But my program gets to 8 ply somewhat more quickly. From the opening position my program searches 200,202 nodes to get 8 ply, while TSCP hits 7,070,387 nodes to get the same thing. So i think you're probably right as to where each would have an edge.. dave
