If we asked any program who it was playing, wouldn't the reply be, "why what do you mean, I always play against myself, you mean others play chess too". Do any of the programs have code that is not the same for both sides? in other words when not in analysis mode, and program is playing against a human, can the values be different for black if black is program. for example, GM vs program. program knows it is playing human GM and knows GM will play best move to close file. so a value is assigned to this best move to close file. so this line with this move is not pruned early. program looks at this line more than if it is in comp vs comp mode. I have read about the draw value for chessbase programs, and the explanation by ED for the anti-human mode. these two are similiar to what I am talking about, but not exactly. so the question is: is the search code and values the same for both sides when a program is "thinking"? kburcham
