So, Vincent studied this 1.0 version and his conclusion is that it's made of Fruit 2.1's eval. Alexander, who studied your public version 1.2 concludes that its eval is Toga II's.
No, search algorithm is not involved here, but pure Eval(), as the scores of your 1.0 and Fruit 2.1 are identicall. Ok, Search() is invoved a bit too, as your 1.0 does strictly the same unusual move ordering as Fruit 2.1 does, what puzzled Vincent the most.at the time of 1.0, was testing with many different search algorithms...
But you're right about something : you tried various stuff, as Alexander conclude that you switched to Toga for more recent versions of xYclops.
So, please, at least don't accuse Vincent of things he never did, while YOU obviously did what Alexandre, Vincent and others proved you did.
