Hi Tom! On January 03, 2006 at 13:16:31, Tom Likens wrote: > >Yeah, the name's a bit of a misnomer. BTW, do you do *any* real pruning in >Glaurung or is everything a reduction only. Glaurung Mainz does no real pruning, but my latest development version uses a very primitive form of static null move pruning in the last two plies. This is a very recent addition, implemented one of the last few days before Christmas. During the holiday, I played my longest ever self-play match: A 1920 game match played from the 960 different FRC starting positions. The version with static null move pruning won by 1034-886 against a similar version without static null move pruning. >I could look at your code but >1) I'm at work (obviously working hard after the New Year) and 2) it's >easier to just ask you ;-) And also: 3) My current version is quite different from Glaurung Mainz. >BTW, are you going to participate in CCT8? It would be fun to have >Glaurung there? I am not quite sure. I have never participated before, and frankly I find on-line events to be a bit boring. Perhaps I will be there, but I probably won't know until a few days before the start of the tournament >If the time difference is too much, maybe you could find >an operator on this side of the Atlantic to run your program. I really don't want to do that. If I cannot be there myself and chat with the other programmers, there is just no point. Besides, it would make the tournament less interesting for the other participants. I know I would be disappointed if I operated my program and faced an opponent not operated by its author. Tord
