Marsland has published several articles based on his >experiments with this "Updated Chinese Chess program" [quote from his article >"Variable Depth Search" 2000]. I wonder, what caused his program to perform so >poorly? Tony is one of the pioneer in this field. In fact, Tony's paper was the key source for me when i started to write my own chess/chinese chess programs more than 15 years ago. His paper on search algorithms was one of the best in computer chess history, in my opinion. I respect him very much, and i still feel honored to know him in person. I haven't look at the games yet, so i don't know exactly the causes. But i think most likily it is the same for most people, lack of time. Many games are needed to make a stable program and I think this is not the cases here. Ren.
