Stockfish 1.7 Paramaters

Post by mhalstern »

Stockfish 1.7 has a default paramater of 2 threads. When I change that to 4, should I also change these 2 default paramaters:

maximum split depth 4
maximum number of threads per split point 5

No, you can leave those as they are.

The only exception is that when you are using 8 threads, you should set maximum split depth to 7.
