An "EPD" test file for evaluation?

Postby jacobbl » 10 Feb 2010, 21:09

As computers gets faster and depths get deeper the evaluation function is more and more important.

I was wondering if anyone has made an "EPD" file which instead of stating the best moves returns an aproximate static evaluation. So this is intended only on quiet positions. I know there will be different opinions of what the evalutaion would be, but for my enginge Sjakk (pretty basic) it would be nice to do a comparisation between my evaluation and Rybkas evaluation or a GM evaluation on different positions. This would help me find what kind of positions my program is evaluating badly. Have anyone done anything like this or some other way to test ones evaluation function?

Regards
Jacob
