NICE 1.1
Posted: Mon May 11, 2020 6:40 pm
NICE 1.1 is a considerable update over version 1.0 including better documentation, hence a new thread.
Some snippets.....
• While 1.0 had it's focus on fast time controls between 100-500ms for evaluation tuning mainly we added 2 formula for longer time controls (1000ms and 2000ms) in order to tune search settings more reliable.
• Speeding up the MEA analysis process by dividing the work over all the available cores (threads) on your PC in a more convenient way than in version 1.0. Our tests ran 2½ times faster, if we had used the full capacity of the PC it would had been 5 times faster. Maximum cores (threads) is 64.
• Improved formula for calculation the points.
• Time Bonus - use csvx.exe to exclude the (much discussed) Time Bonus from the calculation formula.
• MEA produces an excellent EPD with scores, depth of each position in the epd_out folder.
• Our experience (so far) has been we had more success with the sfx EPD's than with the lcx EPD's.
• The disadvantage of the MEA fixed movetime [MT] is that it abrupts aborts the search when the movetime limit is reached. An alternative is including depth, for example.......
• For easy sharing results a text file is produced, sf5.txt in this case.
