Hello Reinhard, > >But it would still be interesting to know, whether you already could have >gathered some experiences with the piece values I have proposed >[http://www.rescon.de/Compu/schachveri1_e.html]. > Not as of yet. Michel and I were chatting for a few hours, even after our game wa over. Then I started to work on playing with the Bill Angel CapaGNU program. The first two games were not intersting, since I was unaware that he had an "EASY" mode turned on as default, and once he hit 6 plies he would stop searching, even on longer time controls. I set the max depth to 12 (which was never reached), turned the EASY mode off, and gave it 40/60 on a 2.8 GHz P4 to Vortex's 1 move/min on a 2 GHz P4. The game is shown here... http://www.GothicChess.org/matches.html [Event "Gothic Chess Match Game #1"] [Site "Philadelphia, Pennsylvania"] [Date "2004.01.10"] [Round "5"] [White "Gothic Vortex 1.0"] [Black "CapaGNU Modified"] [Result "1-0"] 1. c4 Af6 2.

For example, take a look at this... http://www.GothicChess.org/match_05.gif Vortex allowed the trade of its own Queen + the b-pawn for the enemy Archbishop and Bishop. And interesting theoretical debate! Later on, Vortex gave up 2N for Rook + Pawn, which I think is usually a good idea in Gothic Chess since the Knights are 16% weaker on the 10x8 board than the 8x8 board by my estimation! All in all, this game has hardly scratched the surface, and I am sure piece values will be a more criticial factor in Gothic Chess than we may have imagined.
