Except that I usually do not bother with ZoG, but configure Fairy-Max to play the game, or make a dedicated engine by adapting Joker. For on-line play I am developing the Internet Chess Server now. Using the material-imbalance-self-play method I have, for instance, determined the piece values for Capablanca, Knightmate, Great Shatranj, Falcon Chess, and Superchess. I have tens of thousands of comp-comp games on file for these variants, which could be filtered for interesting checkmates (e.g. early in the game). Only opening theory is of no interest to me; even my normal Chess engine plays without opening book. Edit Form You may not post a new comment, because ItemID Proliferation does not match any item.
