The line in your first post with 7...17x10 is one of the reasons why suicide checkers is tough to program: In general, it is good to win material, but there are also positions where you can be lots of material up in a "quiet" position, like here, before 12. 5-9 - and still lose. In regular checkers, I can stop the search in such positions, but in suicide checkers that isn't possible.Martin Fierzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586804738356245526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10699902.post-1140727268877645312006-02-23T21:41:00.000+01:002006-02-23T21:41:00.000+01:00Hi Zadius,that's not what I'm looking for: your ga...Hi Zadius,<BR/><BR/>that's not what I'm looking for: your game is "flawed" in the sense that white is actively helping red to win (e.g. 21-17 instead of 28-24 on 2nd-last move wins for white). I'm looking for the earliest proven loss. In the game I posted, that is after the 2nd move of white - from then on, the game is lost. <BR/><BR/>cheers<BR/> MartinMartin Fierzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586804738356245526noreply@blogger.com
