**ouch!!** It's painful...
I'm running the resulting tree analysis since almost one week. At fixed depth, Baron is taking 5 to 30 secs per position and I could be at about 20% of database.
Gosh!

Re: Analyzing a one million games database...
I have a machine doing just this 24/7. The good thing is that while waiting you have more than enough time to come up with a lot of good filtering ideas :-)rodolfoleoni wrote:**ouch!!** It's painful...

Being not a programmer, I can use nothing more than Richard Pijl filtering ideas...marcelk wrote:I have a machine doing just this 24/7. The good thing is that while waiting you have more than enough time to come up with a lot of good filtering ideasrodolfoleoni wrote:**ouch!!** It's painful...

In fact, this work derives from the promising experiment I recently ran with Critter session file being used instead of opening books. The Baron facilities allow me to use some shortcuts (e.g. to analyse the tree instead of single games, to handle transpositions, and so on). I don't know about a GUI which has the same features, so the work is being done in console mode. When finished, I should have a learn file to use with experiments.

I'm surprised you started this without knowing beforehand how long it would take. If you got 20 percent done, then you have a very reduced tree IMHO.

Re: Analyzing a one million games database...
I made a similar work some months ago, but with a shallow fixed depth. It lasted 2 days, and my guess was about 30 days this time. The good thing is that I can stop/resume it when I want.Albert Silver wrote:I'm surprised you started this without knowing beforehand how long it would take.

And yes, there are some tricky reductions, you're a good observer.

Re: Analyzing a one million games database...
For what purpose are you analyzing it (for a opening book, or ?).

Re: Analyzing a one million games database...
The purpose is to get a learnfile from positions analysis, because I want to test it vs. standard opening books. Recent tests I ran with Critter learn system showed me it could gain superiority vs. traditional opening books, so I want to try it with the Baron.jdart wrote:For what purpose are you analyzing it (for a opening book, or ?).
Meantime, this work serves to score Baron book too, and it could be useful later.
