Stockfish_19040520 Slow Mover problem

Post by Eduard »

I just played 2 games on PlayChess.com. Something is wrong with the Slow Mover of "Stockfish_19040520". In the options I put the Slow Mover to 70. But in both games it looked like this: After move 15 only 2 minutes on my clock and after 30 moves only 30s for the rest! That can not be at 5+0 and Slow Mover=70. Or? :roll:

Yep noticed the same problem with Sugar 1.6.1 and Stockfish Cluster and McCain X2a ....very very slow moving...
sometimes waits 2-3 minute before making moves..then tries to make moves with 30s or less with 30 moves left to make the time control. Dunno...could be these engines are becoming too complex to remember all the commands...a ongoing problem with stockfish and quite a few other engines...gui is also a factor in these problems... :) :wink:

Increase the "slow mover" setting to make it play faster. I believe the SF default is 89, I use 100 (and that is McCain's default as well).
