Go up one level in this thread


hi Frank
even some of the later dedicated  chess computers were able to handle this.
some of the Mephisto modules had a "draw contempt" option in which you could set
the computer to avoid draws at all cost or play heavily towards a draw..
the contempt factor could be set in incrememnts .25 of a pawn
a negaitve setting would make the computer play for a peaceful draw while a
large postive setting would make the computer avoid a draw at all costs
