Who cares... in a hundred years we're all going to be dead anyways. I just hope for me it's less than a hundred days.

It was always nice to see game analyses where the extremely capable player tries to figure out why Quackle believes the expert's play is ABILMOPSTU. The player beseeches QuackL for wisdom like some Boeotian before Bakis, then cries when his sacrifice doesn't bring a vision. Scrabool on the iPad, oh my. We need more nymphs and fewer nymphos. --- On Sun, 5/9/10, Trevor Halsall <[email protected]> wrote: From: Trevor Halsall <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [quackle] Re: seeing possible future moves To: "Quackle Usergroup" <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, May 9, 2010, 8:27 AM As good as Quackle is in general, it has a known bug in the endgame. I recall reading an email on the issue, wherein the valuation of moves in the final stages was totally wrong. So it would appear that unfortunately this current discussion is purely academic...

The only exception should be ties (or the extremely rare candidate play of passing). All the best, Jim Kramer</HTML> Forgive my kibitzing - I lurk here out of theoretical interest only at this point in time. What Jim and Albert say would certainly be true for an exhaustive-search end-game player. A simulation that only looks 1 or 2 moves deep would not be expected to give such clean results for an endgame with a deeper move tree than that. When David states he "simulated" in the the original question, I assume that simulation does not do exhaustive search in the endgame (even if the "Championship Player" might). Forgive me if that assumption is wrong, I only state it because it might be the source of the disagreement.
