got it; it's not relevant to IA but is relevant to engine v engine competition on my computer. But what about when using Deep Fritz "Deep Position Analysis" which analyses both sides of a game for a predetermined number of moves or time or depth? It likely is used then, right?

Have no idea, I never used "Deep Position Analysis", sorry.

Thx for testing at LTC on fast hardware
Question: why do you use such a small openingbook?
Almost every game has kind of stonewall positions with fianchetto bishops on g2 or both on g2 and g7. Its all 1 g3 or English kind of openings A30, A04, B20 and so on
More variety would make far more interesting games and perhaps also other results

Thank you for your interest, Bram!
Do you mean a small book or similar positions?
There are 1406 positions, but only A&B ECO.
I haven't checked this book before the start.
When 302 games will be played I will replace that book.
What book do you prefer?
Need the book with 349 positions at least.

No specific book in particular but a wide spread variety
For example I like Silver testsuite or Noomen 2012 testuite
