SMIRF Engine

Subject: Re: computers + openings

Walter Montego: The current published version of SMIRF is beta 1.33. Actually a new version is about to be completed supporting then 4 languages Eng/Ger/Fra/Swe. You are right, actually at games with fixed starting arrays like traditional chess, you could vary played openings by stopping the engine's thinking suddenly by hand. I myself use to test the engine by playing CRC, there will be always new situations. Of course the opening behaviour is seriously influenced by the playing version, because mostly the evaluation function or something else will have been slightly changed (and improved as I hope).
