Comments on: Weak chess engines http://pdf23ds.net/2007/02/08/weak-chess-engines/ I will not be swayed be every small current; nor will the memes faze me or infect me. I am pure. I am intelligent. I am rational. I am at peace.

(I need to write a tic-tac-toe solver one of these days just so I can say I did.) It looks like your chess engine uses a minimax search too. Are you planning to change that? Do you have some other way to make your engine more human-like? Why am I responding two weeks after the comment? Why not? Yes, I understand a little about chess algorithms.

This is why they play cold, calculated, and conservative games, even at low search depths. I'm developing my own chess engine. You can find it at my website. Please feel free to contact me with further questions about computer playing style. Thanks. All chess engines, at their core, search for moves according to the MiniMax algorithm.
