I've played nearly 300 chess960 games so far under Cutechess GUI, no problems at all

It is easily over 3000 Elo on that list. It is hard to compare the Elo numbers on the standard 40/4 list and the chess960 one. Different database and less engines on chess960.

chess960 should work now.

Indeed it does, I played 300 games overnight without any issues. Gábor ran it at standard chess earlier in the week, and it shows +180 Elo, and chess960 is the same so far.

OK, I'll rephrase the question. What is the best network and settings for any NN on 7 threads of an 8 core, very fast i7 machine?
