Last night I got my new engine to complete it's first game where it played the
entire game and properly announced the result of the game at the end. As I said
in the subject, this is the first non "hello world" program I've ever written in
C so it is kind of a milestone for me. I thought I'd just post the PGN here to
record the moment. Hopefully one day, I'll be able to look back at this post and
laugh at these humble beginnings.
Additionally, I think that I will also try and come up with a different name
than murderhole 2 for the new engine. I think I'll release the source of
Murderhole 1 eventually, and I would want to make clear that they are 2
completely different programs. I think the source could be valuable for those
people who were like me a few months ago and wanted to write a chess engine, but
really were most comfortable in VB.Net. Anyone have thoughts on that?
Anyway the game was played against itself, result was a draw, I don't have it
using time controls yet so each move was made by using iterative deepening to
depth 5. Eval used only material and piece/square tables. No pruning (null or
otherwise) was used and move ordering is MVV/LVA.
