Humans players do this all the time (I avoid sharp tactics against a very tactical player; I exchange pieces against an oponent who plays endgames poorly, ...). In world championships, I bet programmers/operator make small configuration changes depending on the opponent (and of course in the book). Winboard tells the program the name of his opponent. I once had an idea to let the program change some internal parameters depending on the opponent (actually, Crafty does this when it plays a human or a computer, if I'm not mistaken). Imagine I teach my program to: play a 100 games match against Crafty. Save the configuration and result to a file. Do some random small changes and play another 100 games match. Save result again... After some time, the program would come up with a set of parameters that maximize results against Crafty. And all automated. Could be tremendously improved, of course, but the idea itself is not so bad. José C. >The question to you as a beta tester, what do you think is the best overall >setting? > >Bye Ingo
