In Response To: Comparing Extreme to Snowie (Joe Russell)

I could show you 10 positions that Snowie got right that Ex also got right, but I'm afraid that wouldn't prove much. I can also show you some positions that Ex's 3-ply got wrong, and so far, from what I've seen, Snowie gets them wrong as well.

Maybe the best counter-study is to take positions that the Ex eval misses and see if Snowie gets any of them right.

I do agree that this study is far from conclusive...time will tell if Ex is truly as good or better than GNU or Snowie...but all indications so far is that it is at least as good, much easier to use, and much faster. (And it has some bells and whistles that are very appealing to many of us.)
