Hi Ed, this is very interesting information, and good ideas I think. I wonder, did you ever test your learning algorithm against that of other programs ? This is harder to accomplish of course than testing the engine as a whole. What first comes to mind is something like this: play 1000 (at least !) fast games against another program, with learning turned off. Then play another 1000 with learning on. Then compare ratios, if program A loses 300-700 in the first test , but loses only 450-550 in the second, it has much superior learning. Now the problem might be that this tells us which program has had a better book to start with, because the books need to be rather large in the first test to avoid repeated games. Maybe one should just not count repeated games in the first test. Have you done something like that ?
