And the result would only be of temporary interest as I'm still changing the evaluation and also the general search behavior.<br /><br />In practice I think one should perform more runs and then take the strongest final solution. Two is not enough, 10 would be better. But also here you have to balance how many CPU hours you're willing to spend on it.<br /><br />Currently I'm thinking about search parameter tuning. So I will concentrate my efforts in that area. Different and interesting challenge again.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12758727706662242193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885798824287821949.post-28843797787016135782013-04-21T10:56:56.249-07:002013-04-21T10:56:56.249-07:00try your handmade engine play against engines not ...try your handmade engine play against engines not made by you and see if the pbil is still stronger than ice.tomMarco Bellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094127694461876466noreply@blogger.com
