The day before I released Gothmog 0.4.5, I played a blitz match (4 minutes/game, with 1 second increment) between my engine and Phalanx XXII on my PowerBook G4 550 MHz. Gothmog narrowly won the match; the final score was 52.5-47.5. Yesterday, I started a new match between the same two engines. The only difference was that this match was played on a PIV 2.4 GHz, and that learning was disabled for Phalanx in the second match (my own engine doesn't learn). The result: 65-35 for Gothmog. Is this just a statistical fluctuation, or is learning really that effective? Or perhaps Phalanx (a very old engine) simply doesn't play well on fast hardware? Tord
