That math is wrong, doing a three-depth search would take more like 250 seconds, not half a second. My next level of computer player would maybe do a one-depth search for about 250 milliseconds. Matt On Saturday, December 2, 2017 at 6:13:34 PM UTC-6, matthe...@gmail.com wrote: > > The plan

Re: [go-nuts] Elphaba Chess

The plan for my variation is to extend my "easy computer" move rating system into traversing the tree of possible positions, maybe something like three deep which would take about half a second to compute with my unoptimized engine. Stockfish probably has much more effort put into such a thing

Re: [go-nuts] Elphaba Chess

Stockfish, not Clownfish - sorry. An option is hosting the Stockfish engine over HTTP or TCP, that way Go can be used for calling into Stockfish (cgo), you get experience with Go networking (the use case with likely the best online support), and your interface can be anything that does HTTP or

Re: [go-nuts] Elphaba Chess

You should consider writing a chess program from scratch. It could be a lot of fun! If you start with a mature chess playing engine, you wouldn't learn as much and you would spend time fighting/interfacing with the engine. Since your chess is not quite the same as a regular chess, you may find
