Naum 4.1 is stunning: part 2

Post by Jouni »

Anybody testing 4.1 in analysis? It's great and solved as the first engine in computer chess history all
positions in my 2003 endtest (private) with 44/44!! Naum 4 scored 39. Also in most other testsuites
4.1 is clearly faster than 4. E.g. in STS 1,2 and 8 it's even better than Rybka 3.
In actual playing 4.1 is only slightly better than 4. So I wonder, if 4.1 search is working different
in analysis than in playing?

Solving test suites is like a martial artist breaking bricks, it is impressive but is only a part of the overall chess struggle.
"Tactics are the bricks and sticks that make up a game, but positional play is the architectural blueprint."
