Hi, <snip> > >How can you not have a stand pat option? Else you are _forced_ to play >the only capture, QxP, even though the pawn is defended. The error rate there >is much higher than the error rate in classifying a position as "quiet" when it >is not. If there are no good captures left, you at least know it is "somewhat >quiet" even if there might be a violent non-capture threat left. > If you eliminate all loosing captures , then I dont see how you can play a QxP that will be answered by a PxQ ! Atleast I see this getting done in crafty using a very basic SEE. <snip> > >Don't tune up the eval. Tune up the search so you don't give your eval >such positions to handle... > > Eval needs to understand that the mobility is going down , or the passed pawn is dangerous , etc ,etc. No point in trying to tune up search ofr stuff like this - you wont see the effect of your blunders until way late. Also , if you standpat when in check (which is preposterous) or not generating all moves are not exactly things that can improve search quality. <snip> Regards Mridul
