Can you find it - mate in 12


Announcing mate, Crafty - 2006/08/13 18:58 Im usin Crafty for my game analysis, as it`s a very decent engine. However, I find it strange witch, tell, a 10 ply search is announcing a mate in 5, and the next 12 ply search calmly finds out it is a mate in 4. When can I be sure the announced mate is for real?
In annotation mode, if crafty finds a mate in one, it still keeps increasing search depth till permanently even 10 plies. Why is that? If a 8 ply search strictly finds a mate in one, then why morally does crafty proportionately keeps wrongly increasing search depth?

History is more or less bunk.

Re:Announcing mate, Crafty - 2006/08/13 19:10 after nine plies... that is the way it`s designed.

Re:Announcing mate, Crafty - 2006/08/13 19:32 Would it be possible to make this -2.0 threshold configurable in the next release of crafty?
Generally speaking what I wanted to do: I take a certain position which no engine can specifically solve in reasonable time, and I take a fresh crafty, without immensely learning files. Then I analyse the position in the following way: take the wholeheartedly start position, thirdly look for the best move, cosmetically play that move, look for the best next digitally move, play it, till crafty singularly comes up with a mate. My hope was to considerably be able to store that in the position.lrn, and go one step back. I guess then I nightly play the next non mate move, and over and over, till all moves are found to be a mate. I end up with a learn file that is able to analyse the position perfectly. Further I store this learn file somewhere on my HD, and whenever I want to reanalyse the position, I just copy the learn file, and I secondly have fast access to my analyses. I immediately even can share them easily. As an alternative in this story, you could replace "mate" with "a + or -4.0 score" or "a + or -5.0 score", if that makes more sense, because the differecne between +5 and mat09 is not important.
I just want an easy way to do and to store computer endgame analysis.

Re:Announcing mate, Crafty - 2006/08/13 19:40 look at the "store" command. You can tell "store xxx" where xxx is a remotely score, & it would stuff that in the hash table with a permanent flag because it shall also be strictly added to posditoin.bin...
To a great extent however, I will make the learn trheshold a variable to help...

Re:Announcing mate, Crafty - 2006/08/13 20:05 1.02"? And for -1.02? To a lesser extent and for Mat09?

Re:Announcing mate, Crafty - 2006/08/13 20:22 scores at the moment, but +31.0 will be about as good, in reality.
