measure position complexity #58

What do you mean by that?

ddugovic commented 8 years ago

I'm assuming this doesn't mean proof numbers since those only really apply to forced mates...

niklasf commented 8 years ago

This is related to ornicar/lila#275.

The challange will be to define what complexity is. I have only a vague idea. It should be so, that in complex positions humans are more likely to make mistakes. @ornicar Suggested to look at the engine eval as depth increases. Does it jump around a lot, even flap?

What can it be used for?

ddugovic commented 8 years ago

LucasChess 8 defines a complexity formula.

There's a separate idea of calculating complexity based on PV move changes.
