Please don't start laughfing - there are compilers which make it quicker.
My chess program will do 5 plys in 40 secs. It is written in QBasic.
I would like to contact other people who can assist me in putting the finishing
toutches on it.
Some notes on Opening Books:
I don't think books should be more than 10 moves deep. Some programs now look
to 30 or more moves deep. That is not playing chess, it is looking it up in a
book. We need more opening stratagies.
On Piece Values:
I once did a little chart based upon the number of square that a piece can
attack and the results were suprising.
Pn Kn Bs Rk Qn Kg
2 8 13 14 27 8
1 1 0 1 1 0 Gave extra point for piece protecting its own
--- --- --- --- --- --- kind.
3 9 13 15 28 8
1 3 4.1 5 9.3 2.6
The results divided by three come real close to the real values of time
recognized values. It may be a real link.
I am still a novice, both in chess and in programming, but I am trying.
Any one want to help?
Thanks
