Go up one level in this thread


a) Sorry but I haven't never learned the C language, only Basic, dBase, FMPro
and recently Visual Basic, beyond Maple language, naturally. So I can't
understand your algorithm. Also I never learned Engish language very well, I'm
italian. Sorry for my bad English. In the same way I think I don't understand
Maple language very well, so you can't understand very well my algorithm.
Perhaps we need time.

b) It isn't easy explain it to you now.
i.e. The matrices that you use to indicate the number of controlled squares of a
piece on a empty chessboard, and the other ones to indicate theirs number of
directions... I can't believe that that matrices can give the exact value of a
piece by theirs average, as you explain. Also because this value depends by the
number of other pieces, expecially for Knight, and it can be calculate with
mathematic mathods with iterations to calculate i.e. controlled squares in N
moves. Statistical method was used by IM Larry Kaufman in this site:
