Perft for Checkers (yet again)
Rein Halbersma recently posted 8x8 checkers perft results for depth 22 with a request for confirmation (because he uses a hash table, he wanted to make sure no "hard collisions" occur). So I verified his results for depth 22 using a distributed, brute force implementation (no hash tables). The table below shows the perft breakdown per move (called "divide") from the start position for depths 20 to 22. move divide(20) divide(21) divide(22) ------------------------------------------------------- 12-16: 11531470109861 52945190026737 243598269855110 11-16: 11736729175821 53527954221225 246743868125768 11-15: 9515983205474 44775005468548 209016678583301 10-15: 10055597639275 46574865098865 215412869777867 10-14: 8600202424158 39822944739732 184865466345796 9-14: 9698986164172 45530585259776 213736468971938 9-13: 13406062152792 61923979665936 288999100078322 ------------------------------------------------------- 7454503
