Go up one level in this thread



Ok,  I did some systematic tests tonight and my claims were
definitely exagerrated.  The improvement was only slight when
averaged over a large number of problems (WAC+BK).  I do get
more WAC problems solved at 5 sec per move, but that turned out
to be a few problems going from 5.something to 4.something
seconds.  The greater search depths must have been largely a
figment of my imagination... I can't reproduce it for the life
of me and am rather embarrassed about reporting such a thing.

As a scientist I make a habit of being very careful when making
claims in public, but apparently I am not so careful as
a hobbiest.  :)

I am very sorry for the excitement I stirred up.  Move ordering
at the root (after the best move) doesn't really seem to
matter very much.
