Hello Daniel,

Some chess programs use a mixture of both: x seconds to guess a strong move for the opponent, and after that thinking about the best answer on x. > None of them brought me significant benefit which i suspect > is due to the vast amount of good options and > the fact that MC can pick any of them randomly. Hmm, on which board size(s) have your tests been? Perhaps, you might see an effect (or see a more expressed effect) for smaller boards (7x7 or 9x9). Indeed, their should be some scaling: Decreasing effect when the board size grows. Ingo. -- NEU: FreePhone - kostenlos mobil telefonieren und surfen!
