Subject: Re: Book learning?

Go up one level in this thread


An approach that I am going to try is to simply update the information in the
book as regards the number of wins, losses or draws that a position has led to
(which are set when the program creates its book from a PGN file).  I am going
to apply the update to every position in the book made until the program went
out of book.  This way, the minimum threshold of selection can be modified to
explore previously ignored positions another chance or can be raised to exploit
knowledge already gained.  I should stress that I am a complete amateur and I
have no statistics on how effective this approach is.
