I was playing around with the settings of Shredder and found out that in some parameter settings it handles a position much better and evaluates it much more accurately. The problem is that the setting change makes the engine weaker in other positions. So it seems that the parameters are set in such a way so as to make the parameters with the setting that would be best overall. A compromise of settings if you will. I was thinking why not have an algorithim that can recognize certain aspects of the position and then accordingly change parameters "on the fly". For example in the opening it would use certain parameters, then when the position becomes dynamic again a change in parameters, if both bishops are on again another parameter. The algorithim would be a sort of AI that would recognize what sort of position it is and then adjust the parameters accordingly. It would seem like an easy way to dramatically increase the strength of the program. Since I am not a chess engine programmer I realize that I might be saying something very silly. But in general it seems that it would work.
