Hi, Greg. I have tried Chess V v-0.8, and I am not enterely sure, but my first impression is that the A.I. force has diminished a bit, perhaps I have to adjust some of the new parameters, or there is another thing I can´t see now. I fixed the computer time in 5 seconds per move (on Pentium IV 2.1 GHz.), without altering the other parameters. I played Ultima twice, and Opulent once, and I have not had problems to beat the program (this was not usual with the anterior version), but I was somewhat curious about some weak moves the program made. In Ultima, it left a coordinator unproteceted and changed it by a Pawn, in the second game the program was not careful and I immobilized its Immobilizer with one of my Chameleons, and I could take the Immo a few moves after. In Opulent, the program appeared to be a bit confused with pieces values and made a couple of slightly unfavorable changes, but worse: also ruining its position. Have you idea of what is happening?.
