Go up one level in this thread


There is a variant of chess called "crazyhouse" in which captured pieces can
return to the board.  I play it on the chess servers; it's fun!

Now, making this relevant to this board, there may easily be hundreds of legal
moves.  Heck, if there's just 2 kings left there's 930 legal moves ( if all
pawns got promoted and were captured ).

Could a program do well?

However, there will be a ton of alpha-beta cutoffs in crazyhouse.  And nullmove
would be a great hueristic, since the side to move typically has a huge
advantage.

hmmm
