RE: [Bug-gnubg] My move not always analysed at 2-ply

[Ian Shaw]

I think I want My Move to be analysed at the same level as Best Move. That is 
the only way to get a valid comparison of the equities.

I think I have some examples at home where the best move is at 2-ply and my 
move is at 0-ply. I don't recall any plays at 1-ply - perhaps I have 1-ply 
filtering off.

(Ian, do you have an example where GNU doesn't at least force a 1-ply analysis?)

If this fix is implemented then I see an issue where if like me, you set your 
filters to always accept 0.
then a forced 2 ply analysis of a blunder will have nothing to compare against.
I would suggest in this instance, the top play is also analysed at 2 ply 
overiding the filter.

Just to be clear here Ian, do you always want "your move" or "your move if it's 
an error that falls outside of the filtering" to be analysed at the top setting?

For "your move", then an "always accept 2" will produce this, for "your move if 
it's an error that falls outside of the filtering" then "always accept 2" 
together with the fix will produce this.


BTW not that I use it personally or see any point to it, "always accept 1" 
doesn't seem to work.
