Preferring a thread that returns a higher score makes no sense to me. It is just a way of trying to fool yourself.AndrewGrant wrote: ↑Wed Aug 08, 2018 7:23 am I've tried doing the "pick best thread" type stuff that Stockfish does -- and it never works for me. Perhaps it just takes too many cores to test, or maybe I've done the logic wrong.
Preferring a higher depth does make sense to me, provided the main thread is not treated differently than other threads (whether it works or not is another question).
I doubt that letting threads start at different depths really makes a difference (perhaps at shorter TCs it reduces some contention?).
