Algorithm for Chess Programming (post on Wiki?)

[Dave_N]

Hi,

I have created an experimental algorithm and would like to publish the concept, is the chess programming wiki a good place? Is it ok to post algorithms on there or is there a filtering system? I can't publish an academic paper on the subject

Hi David,

sure, if related to chess programming, you are welcome to create a new cpw page with a new name to write your stuff (plain text editor recommended). Page hierarchy is flexible, i.e. whether it becomes subpage of algorithms or search or whatever.

It might be a good idea to vet your idea in this forum. It could be an old idea or there may be an easy improvement. In the latter case, you could then publish the final version instead.

Hi,

thanks for the information ... my concept of the algorithm is a bit fuzzy atm, however when I can sort out all the ideas into a more coherent form I'll post here first before making a wiki page

The thought was to create an algorithm that searches subtrees deeper by taking the last PV node and scanning backwards promoting the best moves if they are different from the pv line, and then at moves with a set of equal multi-pv values it will spend more time on these subtrees... however now reading the words I think it has definitely already been done.
