Challenge the Oracle
« on: Feb 26th, 2014, 1:07pm »
Quote Quote Modify Modify

There was a discussion about perfect play in another thread.
 
I setup the bot to play the losing side of a tablebase position.
In order to reach the setup, you need to follow the sequence of moves exactly. Any variation and the bot will resign the game.
 
The bot always plays silver.
 
The first move as gold after the setup phase is a normal 4 step move. It is NOT the 2 step move used in the endless endgame event.
 
The bot is playing as bot_clueless_test
 
If there are any problems, requests etc. please let me know.
 
First Position:

 
Required path to setup:

2014-03-03 23:01:34 chessandgo thanks. Why not post the link in the forum thread?

 
Yes, why not.
http://harvey.alwaysdata.net/puzzle_map2.html
 
It's a clusterfudgy single 450k html file for now. I'll have to make a proper database when it gets too big. The format was intended to allow a raw text-search.
 
There are three numbers above each board. The first is a unique position id. The ids are assigned to unique positions in chronological order since the first game. Positions are identified by the positions of the pieces and the side to move (not the move number). The second number is a hit count, and the third the id of the game where it was first played.
The numbers after the links are the id and hits of the target position. Since a few paths are merging, the sum of the hits of the next positions is sometimes greater than the hits of the current one. I'm changing this every other day, so this description might become quickly obsolete.
 
Thanks for putting the oracle online! The puzzle was finally cracked in game 295159 (which will be in the db file tomorrow, I guess).

I like the idea of having two puzzles open at once. Double the fun!

Would it be possible to change the Oracle such that if there are multiple equally long defenses, that those that have not been refuted over the board are tried over those that have been?
