If your move ordering is somehow causing you to have a different move choice or score, the only way to see if it's a better move ordering is by playing games.

28.Kd1 It's not about the fen, but about showing an image of the current board position for the audience's convenience. I guess we can do it like Harvey by using pgn tags and let them see the image themselves by using the >> button that appears below the board (or clicking the last move). 28...Kd7 ...

Maybe, but the human move is the shortest way to a full point.

Believe me, as chess is concerned this claim of yours would be one of the hardest things to prove, if true.

Is there some important software that only runs on Linux that people on Windows are missing out? If not, the choice of OS is clear.

You can expect this from a big video game but from a some kB chess engine this is an absolute unreal expectation. Why? It looks straight-forward.

As wild guesses go my upper-bound is 2GBs/year, even I have space for that... An interesting part is the "Merge Persistent Hash" option, when it was implemented the idea was for different users to check different lines and then share the files and merge them together, perhaps with one master file th...

Ha, the funny thing is that mass storage isn't even needed, Bernstein Learning shows how little the engine needs to save in a file for it to work. We're talking about 64MB per year or something even storage from 10 years ago could manage without sweating.
