 hi,
 
 in the latest code there're the new A, B, ... E buttons allowing to 
 quick-load
 rollout settings (stored in files a.rol, b.rol, etc).

Where did you hide that code? I coudn't find anything in cvs, but maybe
I'm blind today.

Ciao

That's great news How many buttons are there? Five?

I propose to discuss standard settings at www.gammonu.com, where the 
best players meet, including Neil Kazaross. I presently use 4 different 
sets of settings for rollouts.

Would it make sense to provide some standard settings ? Something like:

A -- quick 0-ply rollout
B -- 2-ply truncated
C -- 2-ply full

Most of the players I've been speaking with (including strong ones) are
way too scared by the complexity of the rollout settings. If I'm not 
wrong,

Snowie has something similar (quick rollout + precise rollout) ...

Hmm ... gammonu.com is not a free site, you have to subscribe.
And I do think that this kind of discussion should take place
on this mailing list.

Of course, comments from any player with a reasonable experience
in the game *and* in using gnubg are more than welcome (assuming
the preset thing is doable).

MaX.

This sounds great!
 
What would also be fabulous would be a way of (temporarily) changing the
match score and running the rollouts. I feel that this is the most important
feature that is in Snowie but not gnubg.
 
Thanks,
 
David

Okay, here are my standard settings:

A: Quick and dirty cubeless: 324 rollouts, Checkerplay: expert

B: Quick and dirty, cubefull: 324 rollouts, Cube: World Class

C: Normal: 648 rollouts, Cube World Class, Checker: first 3 moves World 
Class, follow-on moves: Expert


D: Precise: 1296 rollouts, Cube World Class, Checker: first 7 moves 
World Class, follow-on moves: Expert


For all I use: no truncation, variance reduction, quasi-radom dice.

Any other ideas?


Hardy ;-)
