Actually, EXchess only sees some of the problem at 6 ply. It fails low again at ply 8 on Rg8. This fail low isn't shown in the output because I don't show a fail low if a better move is found (laziness on my part that I have been meaning to fix), but you can see it switches to Rxg5+ at ply 8 without posting a score for Rc8.... meaning that Rc8 failed low. The only things I have done to EXchess recently is a little tuning and killing some bugs. One of which was in the endgame and very nasty (I was using a signed char to store a value in my pawn hash tables that could, occasionally, be larger than +128..... ugh). > >I notice you've got EXchess playing pretty well over at fics, you'll have to >drop by ICC sometime and stomp the rest of us. :) > I would love to drop into ICC and do some stomping (yeah, right....), but my human account expired a month or two ago. I have other things to do with $40 right now than re-up my membership.... My computer account for EXchess is still active, but I am not sure if I am allowed to use it if my human account has expired. Another problem is that while I enjoy small distractions, large distractions may not be so good for me right now (ICC is a much larger distraction for me than FICS). I am trying to write up my research in the form of papers and my thesis (really one and the same) so I can graduate in June (ok, maybe July....). - Dan >Will
