Nice! Now with Stockfish 15 as baseline/opponent and 8 threads per engine. Great.

What is this Base NPS actually meaning? In testing against version 16.1 it was 473836, but now 586781. Quite big difference. Going up?

I got answer in discord. Avg Base NPS is calculated like this: start stockfish 15, send it "setoption name Threads value 127\ngo infinite\n", wait a second, and then run "stockfish bench", and then take the the "Nodes/second:" value.
