Monte Carlo

[BB+]

In another thread, some initial experiments with the new IvanHoe Monte Carlo function were reported.

Here is another example:

When I have some time coming in the next 2 weeks, perhaps it would be interesting to see if the centi-pawn to win % conversion table can be mirrored with IvanHoe or create it's own table. Using Monte Carlo, not sure what depth would be appropriate and how much sample data would produce the most "accurate" results.</div> <div id="sig6991" class="signature"><span

Let's say that you are analyzing some position in two variation mode on Rybka 3, and you want to know the best move.

If the MC shows a much better score for one position than the other, it is probably a better move."<br> AS: "How sure are you that this is better than flipping a coin?"<br> LK: "99%. The one percent doubt is because I haven't spent that much time with MC yet."<br> <br> Given that KLO and I compiled rather distinct MC results at 10 and 12 ply for the main position of this thread (<span style="text-decoration:underline">c6c5</span> won easily at 10 ply, while <span style="text-decoration:underline">h7h6</span> won almost as easily at 12 ply), there probably needs to be more codification of its exact acumen<br> <br> Slightly before that exchange:<br> LK: "Each extra ply beyond five nearly doubles the time, so cuts the sample size in half for any set time. In general, I would go with bigger sample size given this tradeoff, at least up to a couple hundred games. Of course for overnight analysis you can use much deeper searches and still get big samples."<br> [I really miss LK's opinion/insights (even if I disagree often)].<br> <br> More discussion appears in: <a href="http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=5030" class="postlink">http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforu ... l?tid=5030</a><br> A quasi-technical post is: <a href="http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?pid=78794" class="postlink">http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforu ... ?pid=78794</a><br> VZ: "2) Some work at the root of the tree GUI makes itself.
