Oh dear. 'lowering the total node count' is never the goal. Lowering time is the goal. Especially near the qsearch this is a crucial difference.

This is why I mentioned the word trade-off. It's a trade-off between lower nps and lower total number of nodes for the same depth. So I was already talking about time-to-ply.

So time to ply always is the superior measure here.

Here it is. In general, it is not. Tweaking null-move parameters and other reductions will also affect the quality of a fixed-depth search. In that case, time-to-ply isn't telling you the whole story anymore.
