Hello. I recently ran the LCTII test positions against my engine. Suffice to say it did badly. It solved almost all of the tactical positions rather quickly (where a material advantage or a mate was possible). However it did not get many of the others. This tells me that it is too materialistic (since it does not miss any ways to grab pieces) but it has nowhere near enough positional knowledge. I'd like to use the information from the ones it missed in order to better tune the eval. However, I do not know enough about chess to understand why one of the solutions is the best in some cases. Has anyone written a kind of "here is the reason the solution is the best move" document about this test suite or any test suite? I'm currently re-running the test with a larger lazy-eval and delta pruning window... If anyone is interested I will post the results here. Thanks, Scott
