Hi Tijs, I think we're in the same boat. I am setting up a genetic algorithm experiment, hopefully to begin late next summer. I've resigned myself to the fact that there won't be any quick results. In fact, I'm expecting this to take at least a couple years to derive anything meaningful. TDChess (KnightCap) used neural networks. You can find a link to KnightCap on my site... http://members.xoom.com/jswaff/chessprg Good luck.. please keep up posted! -- James On December 20, 1999 at 15:00:50, Tijs van Dam wrote: >Hello, > >For my simple chess program GKJunior I now stand for the tremendous task of >writing a decent evaluation function.
