Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

wider search at lower levels using multipv and then switching to multipv automatically, plus additional nodes at lower depth, than normal Sf search

idea came from heka-Stockfish, works well for analysis - costs elo at very fast games, once you get to 15 minute with 5 second increments games- no elo lost from my testing... some people like like it for corr chess games ...

Please can you recall how much time for each position ? how many threads ? size of TT ?
30 minutes with 1 core for each position. 2 GB of HT (I set to 2200 MB in Arena).
I'll publish a sheet with all timing in next days.

If you are using large pages (for the engines that use large pages), you should set hash to 2048 Mb as that is best practice when using large pages (use hash size hashes in 2048 Mb increments).

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.

I don't use large pages (yet).

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.
