How long until your engine sees Bh3? (It takes a while for h5 to fade).
I am wondering if any engine sees it before ply 19.
Rybka took about 1/2 hour on my hardware, and IvanHoe about a minute.

Code: Select all

Stockfish-1.6.3 (8 threads, 1024M hash) takes 37 seconds:

MP engines are undetermenistic, it is luck of the draw how fast a move is found sometimes. In this case R3 chooses Bh3 at depth 18

How long until your engine sees Bh3? (It takes a while for h5 to fade).
I am wondering if any engine sees it before ply 19.
Rybka took about 1/2 hour on my hardware, and IvanHoe about a minute.
Good "old" Crafty choose Bh3 in 20 secs. at depth 17:

You are right about Stockfish 1.6.3. ja
It has taken a big step forward.
Very strong.

On an 8-core machine, the default value for the Minimum Split Depth parameter is now set at 7. Previously it was 4. In my testing, 7 yielded much better performance than 4, at least on my 8-core Mac Pro.

You can easily test if this change is responsible for the improvement you are seeing. Just set the parameter to 4 and see how much the performance drops. :)
