That's unexpected, if the number increases further I will have to make an update to add a bit more security in the time management.
As for the "200 Elo" improvement claim, that's a measure in the best case scenario (self-play with 1 thread at super-fast TC).
It's rather difficult to produce a meaningful estimate of the Elo difference when the test conditions can vary immensely (TC, opponents, number of threads). In the TCEC chat I've always been reluctant to quote a value, it just doesn't mean a lot. Then again, the first thing people always ask is "how many Elo stronger"
.
If the measured results by the rating lists are too different from the "marketing" 200 Elo value, I'll definitely update the web page; maybe 150 Elo is more accurate in a real situation against many opponents at normal time controls.
Thank you all for your support,
