I tell you Ruffian plays like Rebel10 Anti GM
No coments where made
Somebody tells it's a Fritz6 clone full pages are shown.
I once did send the precise settings to Jeroen Noomen with the personelety
testing of Rebel Century
With some adjustments
I previously told you that the pawnstructure had a high valeu but it was
precisely this what I changed. from 100 to 105
Strangely enough this sometimes leads to faster searching.
I also used a selectivety of 115
Other selectivety made it play totaly diferent but this might have changed in
the newer versions.
Ofcourse Rebel still used Normal search back then.
I never checked these settings with nulmove especialy because it was not
reliable back then
And in fact still isn't
Though it's midle game is slightly improved
It's openings play is somewhat weaker and
Rebel xp for dos makes many times bad evaluation for end games.
while in fact the settings should give Rebel a better vieuw on when to change
from the midlegame to the endgame wich is not the case.
But I think that the prunning settings are the cause of this rather then the
checks captures remaining settings.
You now also wil get a better vieuw on what i have done for openings theory.
Because where Ruffian now wil go wrong I made some adjustments.
I think in many cases Ruffian wold get an even better results if it used a more
modern  openingsbook.
Even the old Tiger book must be verry intresting
because this where position in which Rebel 10 Antigm preformed best.
Though it wasn't far from ready yet.
And even the mistakes where still in the book I saw that 5 minutes after I did
send the user book to Jeroen Noomen
Like Jeroen van Dorp noticed corectly
luckly it was only 1 position Which will not acure in computer computer games
hehe
You also will got the same los as Gambit Tiger had against Gulko
Using that book hehe
Okay it are actualy three mesages now
But it might be of intrest
For the Author of Ruffian and for the Author of Rebel.
