Re: Search-based opening book
No, I wasn't. Thank you for the link! I'm using a derivative of the drop-out expansion scheme for my book (plus several other forms of expansion). It's standard practice in checkers to use drop-out expansion (DOE) for opening book preparation. Apart from the much smaller branching factor for checke...

Re: Is there a program to build opening books based on engin
Take a look the below paper. IMO it has some limitations and there are some questions for that paper but it may be a good starting point: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2pvWWlf39g-NWN0OUpkRE0tem8/view Here is a more recent version of this manuscript: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FBy-tKExG7C...

Re: AlphaZero beats AlphaGo Zero, Stockfish, and Elmo
Mr. Kaufman, in the chess.com article on AlphaZero, you were quoted as saying "...AlphaZero had effectively built its own opening book...". Could you elaborate on that statement? Did it build its opening book in the sense that it stored moves in a lookup table for opening positions? Or did its train...

how to convert match score to ELO difference
Can somebody point me to a reference showing how to convert match scores into ELO differences? E.g. if A and B play a thousand games, and A's win-loss-draw is 250-200-550, what ELO difference between A and B does that indicate?

Re: Search-Based Opening Book Construction
1. How do you change the tree into a DAG? First of all, one general thing to keep in mind is that space and time efficiency are very much secondary considerations in my data structures and algorithms. My DAG and Priority Queue and Binary Tree manipulations and Given Book lookups are only done in bet...

Re: Need Program For Comparing Hacked vs. Official Crafty
In the xboard I downloaded to Ubuntu Linux, the manpage says -inc disables -mps:
"-inc or -timeIncrement seconds. If this option is specified, `movesPerSession' is ignored. Instead, after each player's move, `timeIncrement' seconds are added to his clock."
I will try -tc 0:10 -inc 0.3

Re: Need Program For Comparing Hacked vs. Official Crafty
oops I meant "time 30/90/sd/60" (30 moves in 90 minutes then 60 minutes for rest of game)
