Over at bgonline there are some results of tests of eXtremeGammon against Gnubg. http://www.bgonline.org/forums/webbbs_config.pl?noframes;read=46526#4652 6
The XGRoller setting seems to clearly outperform Gnubg 3-ply over the 100 positions tested so far. I'd be interested in seeing how gnubg gets on with similar settings. With variance reduction off (as per XGRoller), I'm sure that gnubg is fast enough for the job. The command "set player 0 chequerplay type rollout" and all related commands for setting the rollout parameters exist, but are not implemented. Hopefully the code can be taken from the rollout code without too much trouble. I think that XGRoller has demonstrated that modern PCs are fast enough to perform such rollouts, which was not the case when gnubg was first coded. -- Ian _______________________________________________ Bug-gnubg mailing list Bug-gnubg@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnubg
