Beaches playing random moves

In its first tourney game vs Parrot in ChessWar VII E, Beaches gave a piece away for no reason just after the opening.
I have found in the debug this amazing line :
- Code: Select all
37656<1:Surprise! Random move!
Not very productive
Is this issue known ?

Hi Olivier,
You may set three parameters for random move in Beaches.rc:
# totRand=maximum number of "random" moves in opening
# probRand=1000*prob(given move will be random)
# qualRand=how much worse than the best move can random be (in centipawns)?
I have the third default parameter set to
qualRand 20
It means the difference in 0.2 pawn. So it should not through away pieces (even pawns!).
If there are problems you may set totRand to 0 (no random moves), or qualRand to less value.
Regards,
Igor

Hi Igor
Many thanks for the hint. I just checked the rc file, and I have :
totRand 2
probRand 200
qualRand 20
So such blunders should not happen. Quite strange !
