For example, knight mobility values can be generated:
Code: Select all
mg(x) = 6.6 x - 28.86 linear
eg(x) = 24.76 ln(x) - 43.82 logarithmic
knm_mg(8) = { -29,-22,-16,-9,-2, 4, 11, 17, 24 }
knm_eg(8) = { -50,-44,-27,-17,-9,-4, 1, 4, 8 }
knm_eg(0) = -50, arbitrarily because ln(0) has no solution.
The first coefficient is an accurate description of the shape and proportion, but the second coefficient may have to be intuitively altered to make sense with existing known evaluations of positions. That problem may be more of an aberration of my version of Texel's tuning method which overall seems to generate extreme values that are often larger than might be expected. Further, it adds extra variation to all the other tuning values, which never seems to stabilize. Has anyone have any suggestions on how to get tuning values to "stabilize"? Those who have tried Texel's tuning method should understand what this means. To a degree, one simply has to trust the tuning method.
Good luck if you try this.
