A few days ago, I have a sudden thoughts, try to use the Celeron1.7G computer purchased in 2003 to challenge the "Chess Master" on the Internet, I want to see where the current personal computer is in the case. A level. In 1996, when IBM's dark blue II defeated Casparov, we have proved that we have not had a thousand processor super syste in terms of depth computing power (I am more willing to become a super system like deep blue. Specifically define performance supercomputers with floating point calculations, because these systems have specific algorithms to operate) but for systems like me but a processor?
In 96 years, dark blue is used by IBM POWER processor, but hundreds of such processes can calculate the 34-level depth step. And we know that you can think about 3 steps, you can be a good game, if you can have a deputy in the middle, you can already become an expert. The average of the game is not more than 60, and the system like deep blue II can be accurately calculated to the middle game. Of course, there is a big defect, because the algorithm at the time is still linear, that is, the violent algorithm, with the depth calculation against logic changes, and calculates each possibility, then use, but When a classic case occurs, it will be done in the database (this is actually very complicated, and later introduces later).
Now that there is a great leap than nine years ago, I have a lot of interest in the classic personal computer product Celeron overcome the experts. First of all, I don't understand the programming, very little about the algorithm and data structure, but open source code helps me solve this threshold: I downloaded several chess on the Internet. Of course, for a Chinese, Chinese chess will be prioritized, but when I have passed over the Internet (thank you Google's help), I found that there is no excellent choice. Most of these programs are developed by Chinese, often doing very much. Flower, but in the algorithm of this chess, it does not build a database that can be indexed. The processor has not been fully utilized. When the other party is waiting, it is in an idle state when the other party is in an idle state. In the actual battle, chess power is not different from the initial player, so I have to turn my gaze to chess.
The procedures and systems of chess are almost born with computers. Some people have opposed the significance of computers and fruit flies on DNA. There is still a selection after search, the choice method is simple, putting several programs together with respective CPUs and memory for the test.
Finally, after screening, I chose a commercial software. After the cooperation contact, the author agreed to use and give a database, but requires not reporting. After a more stringent test, the program can calculate the depth of the 24th level (30 minutes) in Celeron1700MHz, 5 second maximum depth is 7, the average depth is 5, the maximum depth of 30 seconds is 14, the average depth is 9 level.
After the basic work is completed, I started the selection of the game. Because Lianzhong has a relatively large influence in China, the high-level player has a lot of players, so I registered this experiment with the association of Celeron1700MHz.
