Stockfish 17.1 Optimum Settings

[karla]

Hi;

Please can someone advise on Stockfish's optimized settings?
I assumed that they were the default settings, but have since read that e.g.
Move Overhead should be set to 30 and Syzygy Probe Depth should be set to 100.

If someone could clear this up, I'd be really grateful.

Kind regards,
karla

Move Overhead depends on your interface latency, and only matters if you want to run Stockfish at time control. Setting Syzygy Probe Depth to 100 is probably not what you want, because that disables Syzygy in nodes where depth is less than 100.
