So I guess the name Rival was already taken on ICC, right? Same with >Galahad, James Long's new program. When I got on ICC, my program's name was >also taken, but the account was disused.

I'm slowly adding heuristics and gauging their worth by over the board play. Did you know that a one ply searcher rates < 700 at 2 0 (ICC)? Or that two ply rates about 900? 3 ply= ~1350. Add check/capture quiescence it goes to ~1500. Let it search to 4 ply (fixed) and it goes to 1700. Add timing & iterative deepening, and the rating drops! Probably because move ordering is still poor, and finding the same answer takes much longer than a fixed 4 ply search.... Just some examples. :-) --- James
