Re: 1K Real Chess for ZX80
Stefano let me be the first to say all your work on this is fantastic. :ugeek: One thing to bare in mind is that humans make illogical moves unlike computers so the results of ZX81 v ZX80 are not really fair. When up against a human opponent the results are far different to the cold logic of anothe...

Re: 1K Real Chess for ZX80
I was trying to follow the first game moves and make a pgn but I found some illegal ones and even "interpreting" what the move could be at the end probably I did something wrong and the result is not complete... So I decided to do a test myself (before seeing the 9 move shame game! :( ). Spectrum Ch...

Re: 1K Real Chess for ZX80
Good! :) Even with the "not mirrored" version try to play black (meaning the color at the bottom of the screen) with ZX80 against a Spectrum playing white. As said even without initial logic might play a bit better (moving pawns instead of wasting moves with the tower until something interesting hap...

Re: 1K Real Chess for ZX80
Yes I mirrored not rotate, sorry!!
Good you can rotate the Spectrum at least (the changes for rotation are not difficult but spread in various part of the code and so not a quick upgrade)!

Re: 1K Real Chess for ZX80
I also saw the final mate move refusal behaviour and I've to investigate in it. 72 moves was not an easy win, but with such time disparity I was hoping better. Seems I should probably do something to improve pawn promotion evaluation... Did you spot other "strange" moves? Can you post the log in the...

Re: 1K Real Chess for ZX80
Try to make the thinking time between the two engines similar if possible!
(30sec move as a mean should be good on ZX80/81)
Really curious to see the next game!
Thank you!!

Re: 1K Real Chess for ZX80
PS: if the opponent engine make use of a movebook, in order to level the playing field you can manually setup the starting position to the end of some known opening, and let play both engines once as black and onche as white! here some examples: http://www.mark-weeks.com/aboutcom/aa05l17.htm https:/...
