Chess System Tal 3 released

Hi,

I would really appreciate it if you can upload it for me. I would really enjoy all the extra parameters to tweak and tune the engine.

Well that’s kind of cute but this kind of stuff responds best to automated SPSA tuning. Repetitively. Difficult to map this back to human understanding, it is what it is. One problem with SPSA is it assumes some sort of optimum has already been arrived at, then the SPSA can tune on that (sometimes quite dramatically) and the initial approximate optimum is going to be down to either the programmer having HCE and chess skill, or to copying someone else’s numbers and using those as a base, or just blindly guessing. I really can’t assert mine are definitely or were definitely an optimal base to have started from, so there may well be another surface out there to try tuning off. I have neither the time nor the necessary compute to randomly stab at new surfaces, retune and hope.

I sent a PM to Damir so he could try the .exe at his own risk (because not recommended for Chessbase install).

Thanks for the help Eelco.
