I just refreshed the binaires - fixing the accounting issues for nodes.
Removing the code that artificially inflated the the node count:

nodes += (1/7 * nodes)

nps will be down 1/7, solution times will remain the same.

A silly line of code.

We are all allowed our opinions and are free to express them and we should encourage that. But I think I mentioned in the Engine Origins post, I don't agree that people should go further and act as judge, jury and executioner in cases like this. Unfortunately in the chess community that seems to be normal.

I bought H6 back in January so not particularly gripped to see someone 'giving' it out for free.
