Enhancement: dynamic UCI option values #86

Open tissatussa opened 9 months ago

tissatussa commented 9 months ago

It seems Megalodon has no sense for long term strategic goals, in my case : pressure on the h-line.

You could try to dynamically change the UCI values for the pieces etc. :

first determine some game phase or position type. I have some ideas.

other simple engines have the same issue, although their style may differ : they reach only about depth 8 (i played 2 games for you, each 15 min. per player).

here's another one .. this time i played the White pieces, also 15 min. pp .. again, there's a lot of pressure on the h-file and now also by the long black squared diagonal .. on the long term Megalodon can't defend all squares around the King .. i let the game somehow slip away but won ..
