Subject: Multi-ProbCut and Crafty : does it work ?

Author: Frederic Louguet

I read an interesting paper from Albert Xin Jiang and Michael Buro about
Multi-ProbCut and its implementation in Crafty. I have always been very
skeptical about this pruning technique (for chess) but the paper is rather
optimistic. However, the data presented does not seem very convincing from a
statistical point of view (too few games, not enough opponents). So could Robert
Hyatt tell us a little more about the effectiveness of this technique ? Does it
_really_ work ?
