Thanks Martin

I know +140 sounds impressive, but I believe there is some unknown effect in the test setup that is responsible for this. A 2X speed increase should not be worth more than 70 elo max.

At first I suspected java startup time and time before the JIT compiler had optimized the java bytecode. However I use cutechess-cli to run the tests, and it doesn't restart the engines between games, so this effect should only exist for the first game.

Yes some say it's 50 elo for doubling, most say 70 and some say it's about 100.
Anyway i think even if it's less than 140 at long TC, even 70, it's still impressive.
I recently fixed a couple of nasty bugs but could not improve more than 10 Smile
So fingers crossed to surpass Fruit 2.1!


The general effect that has been noticed, but not confirmed, is that the gain in Elo is larger for shorter time controls and decreases as the time control increases.
