I have started a short small test. Made several small books of one opening each to about move 10-13. Run a RR tourny to see if any engines like or dislike any certain opening. Results here so far. http://www.abgamesff.com/chess_stuff.html Once I find out how to post on my yahoo page with yahoo publisher, I will post the games. Bear in mind I am doing this between jobs here at work, so will be slow and unresponsive at times. (My wife just told me to get back to work, read this over my shoulder and THEN said I am like that most of the time anyhow.) Ed in Pro Deo has an engine learn feature which looks like, in a match, if losing, will change to a different personality for a few games to see if it can do better and if still losing changes to another ect. until it finds a personality that stays even or wins. Wondering if anyone has thought of having there engine check what the opening is when they leave their book and have the engine change its "personality" to one that plays that opening better than the standard personality. For instance, Hiarcs 9 (in my short test) did good except with the Caro Cann opening. If one was to find a change that would have Hiarcs 9 play better with the caro cann opening and then be able to have it change to that personality when it goes out of book in the caro cann opening, that should be to its advantage. Some opening it would not need to change but if you know your engine plays certain opening bad unless the personality is changed, then why not do that? Just an idea.
