N.E.G. 1.0 released

Post by hgm »

Just for fun I made a small improvement to my non-searching Chess engine N.E.G.: it had a nasty tendency to draw games where it had reduced the opponent to a bare King, because when there is nothing left to capture it prefers checks, and chasing the bare King with a Queen (which often was the only active piece) of course leads to nothing.

So in this new version it only gets the bonus for checking with a new piece. This usually is enough to get a bare King checkmated.

I also made it WB v2, supporting setboard, and Linux-compatible. This is the source code:

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>

#    include <windows.h>
#else

	gettimeofday&#40;&t, NULL&#41;;
	return t.tv_sec*1000 + t.tv_usec/1000;

Oops, I already discovered a bug. The 'always promote to Q' line has the colors reversed, and should have read:

Code: Select all

	if&#40;&#40;board&#91;bestTo&#93; & 7&#41; < 3 && &#40;stm == BLACK ? bestTo < 16 &#58; bestTo > 111&#41;) board&#91;bestTo&#93; |= 7; // always promote to Q
As it was, it would never promote its own Pawns, but just leave them as dead wood on the last rank.

Fairy-Max with a depth limit of 1 ply scores about 72% against N.E.G. (measured over 100 games). This doesn't give a proper indication of the strength difference, however, as most points of N.E.G. are due to draws, being stalemated in a totally lost position. (At 1 ply Fairy-Max can see checkmate, due to the check-extension + King capture in QS, but not stalemate which does not start with check.)

Nevertheless, N.E.G. was able to win 8 games out of 100.

I wonder how it would do against Usurpator. I have a Pentium IV sitting around that I may load with Winboard and use to run that match.

Hello H.G.,

I went to your site but the the N.E.G. version available is 0.3d.exe.

Where is version 1.0 available?

Later.

Isn't the command[20] array in main() too small for a "setboard" command?

setboard is only 9 chars (including zero terminator). line is 256 bytes, should be enough.

Agreed. The sscanf(line, "%s", command) confused me but actually it stores the first word ending at the first whitespace in 'command' (the special handling of whitespace characters in (s)scanf looks inconsistent to me but it is as it is ...). I never use functions from the scanf family in my life, and now once again I see why.
