Yace new setting experiement II

[Aaron]

Geschrieben von: / Posted by: Aaron at 06 July 2000 22:46:04:
Here's another experiement by me..
First the setting..
Null_low 4 , Null_high 4.
This will be available when the new Yace21 comes out soon..My beta version, uses the old Piece values. So set nval 0
I call it YACC or "Yet Another Crafty Clone", because Dieter remarks that Crafty uses a equalavant of Null_high 4 for Yace settings..Okay, dumb personality name..
Call it Yace Null 4...

The games are below. G/30, 8 Mb hashm pondering off. Opening book used was based on 2600b.pgn. This is basically indentical to the 2600.pgn file except I added a few lines that I thought Yace likes to play but not with sufficent depth because there were insufficent games in that line..(3 minmum before Yace plays it)
This can be fatal for some lines. So far I have some including the Evan's Gambit lines, some Najorf lines (f5 variation) etc
The results..

I got really excited when Yace won 3-0 against Crafty1711 all on the Black side. But the author of Yace told me that Yace plays better as black against Crafty so, I gave Yace white for the next 3 games..
Indeed, Crafty won the next one..Poor Yace, it was leading +2 evaluation according to Crafty at one point, but as usual, it allowed Crafty to win by racing down the passed A pawn..Looks like Crafty is not suited to play Ruy lopez as white since i have quite a few losses by Yace, in the same way..(need for more evaluation terms for passed pawns??)
The next one, Yace fought back and won..Thank God, Yace didn't try to play a Ruy lopez or Evans Gambit..
The last one was a draw..
Final Result 4/6 ...More testing needed? Perhaps..Anyone game to try? Perhaps using the new piece values (which IMHO are much superior) to get YACC++
