Go up one level in this thread
Because "i'm good with computers" i'll be contributing from different
grandmasters and national trainers of Netherlands here.
At the phone i have IM Hans Bouwmeester.
He prefers to call it:
PlayLikeCapaBlanca
queen = 9
rook = 5
pawn = 1
knight = 3
bishop = 3.5
opening = 1.e4,e5 2.Nf3,Nc6 (forced)
acceptsacrafices = forced
capturing = forced
grabbing = good
arrogance = 100
surrendering = never
Ugh
The idea behind this is because i had said something to him which has caused him
to write for a bunch of magazines a big article. I said that the games of the
old grandmasters and world champs were not so good when checked with the
computer. In fact i said that todays world top is a lot stronger, apart from
that they know more from openings of course.
I said in fact it is because of training, better knowledge, more practicing and
more experience in the different openings where it no longer is forced to play
e4 e5 nf3 nc6. Of course Hans notes that accepting sacrafices at the time
was forced because it would insult possibly the opponent if you didn't take it.
Therefore he says capturing is forced.
Of course because i humbly write this down for my good old team member, the
meastro of the dutch federation who still played last season masterclass
competition far in his 70s.
Now having a scripting language that accepts any variable names is a good idea
because all the code is going to run smoothly then. Some people like Chrilly
Donninger are not so good in english. That's why he has put it in german.
PlayLikeNimzo
Damen = 11.5
Turm = 5.6
Laufer = 3.7
Springer = 3.5
Bauern = 1.0
Ugh
Nimzo doesn't have much more language than this in its evaluation as it is a
preprocessor and to quote chrilly as he said to me in 1998 when che was on
topic: "nimzo played better when i removed knowledge. I do not believe in
knowledge".
That's why he needs no more than the above definition.
Of course you are more interested in GMs and IMs. Let's start with Boris
Kreiman:
Queen = 20 // boris prefers to win quickly. Endgames take long even though
// he is very good at them and he plays openings where he mates
// opponents with the queens on
Rook = 5
GoodOpening = true // simply play a good opening and win
Bluffing = allowed // can win from fritz with a piece down! Happened in
// fide qualification 2001 if i remember well
Contempt = 4 pawns // always play for the win!
Knight = 3
Bishop = 3 // "I'll win with whatever piece i like"
Pawn = 0.5 // "who the hell needs pawns. I always go for a mate"
Defense = weak // "who needs to defend if you already attack"
Afraid = 0 // US citizen
Of course his definition always applies so no need for a special function for
it.
