Onderwerp: Re: S.M.I.R.F. vs. Ed

EdTrice: thank you for putting so much time in commenting that game. It is obviously that you are seeing the game from the viewpoint of a chess master. Thank you for that!

What I am learning from such games for sceduled modifying of the program SMIRF has been following: a) SMIRF actually seems to have no more that sort of crashing I reported during the last time - positive; b) Ed very correctly is detecting weaknesses on SMIRF's placing the pieces, thus I am very sure that some future tasks might help SMIRF a little bit: to rewrite its evaluation function focussing three points: 1) making the evaluation faster (three times seems to be realistic), 2) general review of the evaluation - especially king's safety, 3) adding a component for pieces mobility - which actually is missing.
