Hey Dann,

When you say tune, do you mean the evaluation function only?

If this is the case,  don't even think you could say you improved your tactical
strength if you just tuned it for a few (or maybe many testsuites). What I think
would be likely is that you would be mucking your eval terms up so they solved
the positions the search struggled with, with the dominating woodcount along
with the search doing well in the rest of the positions.

Is there someplace you suggest (your ftp perhaps?) where I can find a bit more
information about this parabolic fit technique you use? I would be interested in
trying some experiments of my own with it.
