I couldn't agree less with you on this.
Evaluation of the engine is of almost no importance for the ELO strength. Just try to modify Ivanhoe by putting random weights for the evaluation terms. You will still have a super strong engine.
Evaluation has great influence on the playing style, but lets not kid ourselves. Most people care about ELO and ELO only.


The question is how do you define super strong engine.

suppose you get an engine that is X elo weaker than Ivanhoe by evaluation modification for some X(X may be 20 or 40 or 100 or 200)

Do you define it to be a super strong engine in part of the case and if yes then for what value of X?

Note that I wonder what is the correlation between gambitTiger and Tiger14.0 and if they have similiarity of more than 60%

I remember that the programmer claimed that he was surprised when gambitTiger was so strong and he learned that it is possible to do significant changes in the evaluation that change the playing style but not reduce much the playing strength.

Uri


None of the anecdotes resonate much with me because random changes hurt Komodo's playing strength. We have changed the style somewhat with carefully engineered changes to many terms in the past - but nothing random.

Very few people really understand how to measure program strength anyway, this forum is littered with posts where people have made some change and run 50 game matches to "prove" it.
