Go up one level in this thread


Interesting, according to the %'s the computer would only be in the IM level for
the most part, although we continually see it beat humans,

and not only beat them "if they make a mistake"
there are times when a human has no chance to win and only draw, and during the
game there were no mistakes made by the human.

For the last several days I have been running non stop test suites of different
personalities for shredder 9,

so far I have made two stronger personalities than shredder 9 default, scoring
better in both the test suites and in matches over 50 games a piece.

So the question is, can a test suite REALLY tell you the strength of a program?
the program might be able to select the best move in that particular position
but could never come up with the moves to get to that or any particular
position.
