Fellow chess programmers: My chess programming project for this weekend is to add pondering to my program and so I'm curious - do any of you keep statistics for how often your program ponders the correct move? I recall that Bob Hyatt once said that Crafty ponders the correct move ~50% of the time. (Bob - please correct me if I'm wrong.) It would be particularly interesting to compare the %correct in games versus computers and games versus humans. It should be significantly higher in comp vs. comp games... It would be neat to compare this percentage for various programs, and see how these data correlate with the playing strength. (Only meaningful if the data were computed from games played against reasonably strong opponents, I suppose...) --Peter
