Increment of 30s is too pretty large.

Absolutely, a lot of time would be wasted that way in easy endings.

A lot of controversial HW configurations can be devised, that would raise questions at either side of the fence. The problem is a legitimate one and can't be dismissed with the sort of easy fixed I've seen proposed so far.

Not an easy question to answer. The easiest way would be to indicate the CPU and GPU used, as if it were a surname: Lc0 0.22.0 T40B.4-160 GTX1050 (like they already do at CCRL), but also Stockfish 2019-10-09 64-bit 4CPU i7 2600K HT off (for example).

The problem is that even the most difficult path can be drawn by any seriously prepared player. I said it three years ago, in (Freestyle) tournaments, the mo...

Cool, I look forward to the details.

That's only 90 Km from home, can the public attend?

The news piece comes from Tom's Hardware, which was a well established and respected outfit. Was a respected outfit. But they've posted some questionable articles recently. They're probably still better than a generic website, but I wouldn't trust them to get all the details correct anymore. Thomas...
