Sorry, my finger slipped, the message went away... :o) >I agree and the point is that I believe that the difference between 99.9% and >99% is smaller than the difference from searching one ply deeper so if you >believe that you can make your program search 1 ply deeper than it is better to >work on it. This difference might raise you from 2700 to 2800... >The difference from searching one ply deeper is still significant in chess. I have mixed feelings about that in draughts... In all games, there is something that we could call a tactical barrier beyond which tactics becomes less important. In draughts I think that we are now beyond this barrier, most programs see what happens tactically in most positions. So, strategy is now taking the most important part. You need to play on the right square, you can't really outsearch the opponent anymore. Another related question is : "Evaluation is probably extremely important against human players, whereas searching deeper is probably extremely important against computer players."
