Thanks for the comparison Louis! My Quad has some trouble competing with your Linux setup, but I let it accidently running so also at depth 45 now, after a few days... I think I'm doing more pruning than Stockfish but the Q6700 system is much much slower of course and using far less hash. 32 bit compile also does not help. Also Scid Serpent is doing longer exclusion searches, and short exclusion searches in nullmove also, and at some point those searches also cost, time and extra TT table space.

27. Nh5-g3 is a nice find, I don't see that move in two best moves here. But I agree that 27. g5 still is the best now

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.
