How Program finds the next move.
Starting with the given position the Program
makes several moves of its own and for the partner on the “virtual” board and
evaluates this new position. A number of moves or, in other words, the depth of exhaustive
search is defined by the player’s level (Dilettante, Candidate, Master and Expert).
The maximum depth of exhaustive search equals to 12 and is set at the level
“Expert”. Of all the positions the Program chooses the one having the highest estimate
and makes a move leading to the above-mentioned position.
It is obvious that the correctness of the estimate influences crucially the quality
of the Program’s playing. After many attempts the author of the Program managed to
develop the effective function of evaluating the position which provides a high class of
the Program’s playing. Apart from that, methods have been found enabling to ignore the
so-called “silly” moves; it provides the depth of search up to 12 moves.
At the level of “Beginner” the Program imitates the human errors and can
overlook the obvious moves. But a human being can beat the Program at any level not only
at the level “Beginner”.
A skilful player is able to evaluate the position better than a Program, thanks to
the intuition, and, thus, to reach a success.
