Old ideas in a modern program

[AleksPeshkov]

Hello.

Today it was pleasure for me to find your old papers of abandoned ideas of static analysis of move playsibilty.

I have a chess engine that trying to implement this ideas not from historical perspective but for competitive chess level.

As you have already implemented many features and have played with them, you may have something to suggest me to try in a modern and stable program code. Will be happy if share some of your computer chess knowledge with me.

Aleks.

Hi Aleks. Thanks for the interest. The historical engines were developed to run in highly cpu/memory-constrained environments, and the main challenge here is to translate the often bespoke, under-documented approaches to current terminology. Unfortunately, none of that is really relevant to a modern, strong engine like yours.

I add chess tactics patterns for pruning at tips of the tree and for reduction and move ordering decisions everywhere.
