Been a busy week (Tournament, Anniversary, Halloween...). So,
I'll be a little slow producing analysis for the matches.
While Telepath's results were disappointing it had its moments and
the matches revealed the issues. I get more from long TC's than the
shorter ones.
The match with Prophet is interesting as Prophet uses a light position
evaluator and Telepath's is much heavier. Both programs were getting
nearly the same NPS and depths. The timing alogorithms were a
significant difference which was noticable in the endgame. Prophet uses
a fairly even distribution of time while Telepath puts more in the
middlegame.
The key in this game seems to be the endgame eval. Telepath made
it to a position that it had previously evaluated as good for
black (Telepath). However, my analsysis suggests the game is better for
white (Prophet). The simple answer is Telepath sees itself with two
passers and Prophet with one passer, but Prophet's 3 connected pawns
will turn into two connected passers thus beating Telepath's two isolated
passers. Telepath's position evaluator doesn't have heuristics to
recognize that -- It will soon.

How does one turn the fen into a board diagram and post it?
Does the forum do it for us with some simple mark up code?
