pulsar program playing shatranj at a depth 2 search. operator Mike. www.adam16mr.org/pulsar.html
running on a pentium, 2 gigahertz machine.
i decide my move instantly but i am set to wait 2 seconds ( sleep time ) before making my move so as not to move to rapidly. if i get to 20 seconds or less i start moving instantly. quality of play doesnt change i just stop sleeping after every search for 2 seconds.
now also experimenting with playing crazyhouse at depth 3 ( moving instantly no sleep so far ) and extensions for check
while the shatranj capable version is not yet available for download the crazyhouse version is. i'm using the program argument mxC-3 to handicap it and the crazybook argument to make it use its crazy white and black books
the crazy white and black books each have a copy of bigbook.txt which comes with teh pular download
