I can of course detect them. Actually I did that for Viking5 the predecessor of Valyria. But it has to be programmed and it is not a trivial 5 minutes hack. Changing the book was a 5 minutes hack. There is a long TODO list for Valkyria and somehow I have to choose what to do next.

Quoting Michael Williams <[email protected]>:

What do you mean by "break symmetry"?  To me, it means play a move that
results in an asymetric board.  But why not just detect the symmetric
moves and only simulate one of them?

Valkyria currently play quite narrow book starting with E5. Since the last tournament I noticed I should try to break symmetry before letting it think because other wise it could spend a minute on two moves that are symmetric. But I am considering to widen the choices for Black on the first move.
