Go up one level in this thread


Bob

A couple of questions.  Firstly, I've seen in a couple of posts you have give a
measure of Move Order Quality as the percentage of cutoffs that are as a result
of the first move played.  Surely this is really a measure of Hash Table
Strategy since it is the hash table move that is played first (Crafty's hashing
strategy being sophisticated and including internal iterative deepening). Is it
not the case that if you swapped Killer and History moves, the statistic would
not change? Am I missing something?

Secondly, when talking about Killers, is this the last (two) moves that created
a cutoff at this level or do you store refutational killers ie a killer based
upon the last move?

Thanks
