Naum3 Evaluation features

Post by dr_zied_haddad »

Hi all

I'm very happy to see another top engine on the field. even if Rybka is still by far the best, all this strong opposition which work can only improve the quality of the engines and their strength.

Naum3 is the newbie. It's a good engine. But i noticed some "floaing" in it's evaluation of positions. This "floating" reminds me Shredder engines especially the versions 7 and 8.

The evaluation of Naum seem to become better and better the more the time control is longer. In fact it seems to improve it's understand of the position as it ponders. it's an advantage comparing to other top engines which seem to change their main line at 15 ply, another one at 17 ply etc... Naum3 evaluates most of the times the same main lines but refines it's evaluation of these lines!!
