GM style tuning

Post by xr_a_y »

Minic being now near GM level, i'd like to try to give it a "personality" feature based on some GM style.
Does somebody already has a collection of position extracted from GM games sorted by GM and "ready" to be used for tuning (so a list of fen by GM with an extended comment for win/lose ?

I guess Rodent is already using this kind of stuff to be tuned ?

I tried this before, I think it was Fischer, Capablanca and Morphy, I use the move approach, adjust eval parameter values, test it with gm epd and count the move that match the gm move, if it is high save it as current best, then adjust param values again, test it and so on. I still have the Morphy test suite found at https://sites.google.com/view/cdrill/personality/tuning.

epd would look like this.

Code: Select all

4r1k1/p3r1q1/1p1p4/2pP1ppB/4n3/1P1QP1P1/P5P1/4R1KR b - - c0 "e8f8";
This method can also be used using the position and moves from a stronger engine.

Good idea, didn't think about the "move" approach. Thanks
