I'm currently trying to enhance my own Abalone Program. If you want to test it, simply ask me at "david.malek@..." (instead of the dmalek@... which is...
Hi everybody. If you want to test the strength of your program, it is a good idea to implement the abnet protocol. A few programs already exist that implement...
Thanx for trying my lovely abalone ;) Good to see that i'm fast, it's true that i'm probably not that bad in terms of search (and plenty of ideas), and still a...
Ok, so I've also tested version 1.5 of My Lovely Abalone against Nacre 2003. This time the results are more mixed. 1 sec/move: MLA-Nacre = 4-6 2 sec/move:...
Hi Peer, Thank you for the good news, it give me courage in the middle of coding ! I'll try again with abnet, i really wish it to work, but i'm very very very...
Hi David abnet has not been compiled with Visual Studio 2003 - so you are on the fronteer here. I don't think it is very dependent on windows.h. It does depend...
AbaPro does not have time limits. You have to experiment with the level to find the highest that does not use more than 1 sec (exclusive the marble animation) ...
I've read the posts about notation. It reminds me about chess programs. PGN is the standard but chess is used by a lot of programs, it's not the case for...

Hi all, hi Peter, I have just finished porting Peter Tax's Abalone program from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X (technically, it has been carbonized, as they at Apple)....
Hi Stéphane I would like to test the program against MLA, AbaPro & Nacre, but have some trouble accessing the source code. I have tried your link, but is...
Thanks. This time I'm able to read the source. It may take a week or so before I have the time to complete the code merge and test, so please have patience. ...

My French is not really good, but if I understand the discussion between David and Stéphane correctly David argues that Tax Abalone must be slow. Stéphane...

I read the search algortihm, no hash, nothing special but pure alpha beta, so i wonderred about speed. But the evaluation functions part needs more ...

MLA 2.0 uses a percentage of moves at node level for levels >=6, based on a measure of disorder/entropy and how strong a move has been evaluated at previous...
I have run some test of Tax 2.0 against Nacre, and the results seem to be that Tax wins most of the time. I have not run enough games to be certain of the...
... Thank you very much for the pain you've spend on it, Peer. It's nice both for me, because I'm happy to learn that the new evaluation functions in Tax's...
Peer, What concerns me is the most of the time and the imprecise time measure. And i've tried probcut with no interesting result :) with very detailed stats. ...
Yes, I agree that the statistics I provided it not sufficient to warrant a firm conclusion. On the other hand, I had so many problems with Tax looping...

Hi Tino. I know the question was directed at David, but let me throw in my experience: Yes, transposition tables are definitly worth the effort. It does cost...
