[mainsworthy2]

Hello Ive been experimenting with the Quiescense search algo, Its the Experimental Engine, I belive its a playable Engine, nothing illeagle, Ive put it online just for your fun.

so try it out you will need longer time controls for some moves I played 15mins.

I may develop this into an better engine.

You keep cranking out new engines every time you implement a new feature. I suggest concentrating on one, and making it as good as possible.

Hi mark - The engine freezes when it is put in check (even at 15 mins). I didnt find any strength improvement in a quick game.


Hey everybody - As far as i can see this is still a test engine for SOM not a new engine - correct me if i am wrong mark - but i do agree it would be better to stick with a logical numbering system.

The test engine was a test for a Quiescense search, my first go at it, the eval is the same the movegen is the same, but the algo is quite different a selective search.

I believe SonOfMains will never have Quiescense, after this test. it takes a lot of time on some moves but I think at bigger time controls it will play ok.

It dosnt hang in check it just takes so long to look at the move, I think I will look at this to speed up the move in check. thanks mark for testing
