Subject: Komputer Korner Tip of the Week Number 91

Here is another way to limit a program's strength and take it out of
the book as well. Set up the initial position and take away the
program's right to castle. That way you both get equal material but
there is a significant advantage for you in taking away the other
side's right to castle. I would estimate it to be around .75 of a pawn
or equivalent to giving a GM an 82% score against an equally rated GM.
We need tests on this for both comp-comp matches and comp-human
matches.
