I'm actually very much into Zero-sum AI stuff currently. I have a chess AI too if you want to give it a try :). It's rather strong, though (about the level of a FIDE Master).

You're a wonderful programmer. I know it's unbeatable if there are no bugs. I've been a big fan of computer chess since Northwestern was world champs. :)Quote:

Except for opening traps, I haven't beat a good chess program since Sargon II, I believe! :)
The amount of look-ahead with today's hardware makes the programs *very* tough to beat, even for the best human players.
They're probably working on the 8 piece end game tables, (Nalimov's), now? Amazing stuff! Thanks for the url, I'll have to give it a go.
6 pieces Nalimov IIRC. 8 pieces would be several EB =).
I am very bad at chess, too (~1300 on FICS). My program is ~2200, though =). It lost its only match so far with a FIDE Master (on FICS).
I personally can't even take an engine to the end of its opening book... so opening traps don't work for me =).
6 pieces are done right, they were working on 7 a year or two ago. Yeah, it's an unbelievably big job, even with Nalimov's brilliant code.
I couldn't take them to the end of their book either, without special prep. Now, probably not even then. :)
Several of those FIDE Masters are very tough, even for computers. I'm sure as your program matures, you'll start holding your own with them, though.
Does bring back the memories. I long for the day when you could wipe the floor with the little silicon beasties!! :)

Tsk tsk, and you said it was of FIDE master strength. Perhaps candidate master strength would be more believable ;)Quote:

Incidentally, how many games were played in the match, at what time control, and what was the result?
The FM it played is vor (on FICS), rated 2346. IIRC the match was 2 games at 30 0 or so. So I guess it is a bit weaker than FM.Code:rating RD win loss draw total best
