I have just uploaded the beta version of a major new update to my Shogi ZRF. It includes more optimizations. It requires Zillions of Games 2.0. And most importantly, it can now use different tunings of piece values. I have discovered a technique for adjusting piece values, and I have used it to create settings with different piece values. This is a beta release, because I have not yet settled on which set of piece values is the best. This requires lots of testing, and I thought some of you may be interested enough to help find out. If you have ever wondered what the most accurate piece values are for Shogi pieces, this ZRF now gives you the opportunity to run experiments on different hypotheses. Please use this comment area as a forum to discuss the results of your experiments and tests with this ZRF.
