* I can run that particular game through to try
and pinpoint specific "sub-optimal" moves, but
all that would accomplish is a wasteful focusing
on onechessposition out of bazillions. *The
obvious (to me) problem is that the program is
going for spite-checks and chasing after pawns
with its Queen, when it ought to be developing
*all* its pieces. * Do you really think you can
"improve" the program more by focusing on a
single move from a single game, than by fixing
a serious problem which affects *many* such
games?

Now your advice was understood and a penalty was given for Queen
giving spite checks and moving arround.

Now I think Zebediah will take +10 moves to win the Advance Level. And
it will be much difficult for you to win games now as it will develop
its pieces first inspite of giving Checks.

I am now going to play a game against Rybka and see if the improvement
is useful or not and post the game below for you to see how good it
plays against Rybka.

I wonder why many times Rybka program just Hangs and I am unable to
finish the game. May be it disconnects.
