Yes, please publish it.
It would be interesting from an historical point of view.

The (real) idea is to give a bonus if the previous move of the opponent was historically bad, and a penalty if the previous move of the opponent was historically good. Is not the bonus added recursively? It looks to me that the result is to inflate deep score. Maybe it adds confidence to score retu...

Well, what is most wrong about 'wdl' as proposed is that it is partly redundant: the three values must sum up to 100. It would be more elegant to have the expected score (winprob + drawprob/2) as a new score mode (as alternative to 'mate' and 'cp'), and add a new info 'drawprob' with a single value...

It is already possible to play ataxx with engines on GGS - The Generic Game Server.

Here is a postmortem reverse analysis done with (now old) stockfish 10 at depth 30 with 4 threads. The following moves by Allie look wrong: 16. .. b4 is probably losing 21. .. Nh5 is certainly losing 23. .. Qd7 is definitely losing Note also that Allie played badly the endgame, the mate should have ...
