(and I think it will >also be for chess theory). I'm a bit unclear on this...What exactly did you mean by "see how well it meshes with theory"? Do you mean chess theory or statistical theory? And what is the current theory? One thing that makes it difficult to compare the two sets is that the formatting of the output is so different. I can hardly read the second result of each pair, because of the weird move formatting. Also, it has no given search depth and is missing any other indicator of how deeply it was searched. One other question I have is what program(s) the new data came from? It appears that the supercomputer data gives a higher score for almost every position, which is strange. Is this just some subset of the total positions where this occurs, or is this indicative of the entire set? Sorry for all the questions. :) Hopefully you can provide me with some enlightenment. :)
