To which engines do these parameters pertain? I don't think I've seen these before.chesstango wrote:what do these parameters mean and which are the best values for blitz games???

From the ippoLit web site:
"RandomCount counts the number of random perturbs to make. RandomBits is the size. Using RandomCount 8 and RandomBits 3 (size 0-7 of every step) can cause search instabilities. RandomCount of 8 and RandomBits of 1 is about 2% fewer in NPS, and 5-10 ELO worse? Another choice is RandomCount of 4 and RandomBits of 3. We have not looked at every choice."
perturbs = perturbations
randomizes eval values w/ multiple CPUs ...
new UCI feature as of IvanHoe v76
best to leave unchanged unless you really like to experiment
not a really interesting UCI option IMHO
