Problems with search

[michiguel]

I just saw that all PV moves in your output are researched, even if the score did not change at all to the last iteration (for example at iteration 8): This seems to cost time. Why are you researching the moves with exactly the same score? This would equal an aspiration window of 0...

No, they are not researched. When the ply number has a ':' after it, it means I have completed an iteration and the best I found is the following. In other words, it is a summary. If the engine did not change its mind, you will see

1370512 8 4.7 +0.28 1.f5 Ne5 2.Qf4 Bc8 3.Bxf6 gxf6 4.fxe6
fxe6 5.Qxf6

(Engine thinks f5 is the PV move and the score is +0.28 after searching 8 plies)

1592012 8: 5.5 +0.28 1.f5 Ne5 2.Qf4 Bc8 3.Bxf6 gxf6 4.fxe6
fxe6 5.Qxf6

(Engine is saying: I searched all moves and the best I found is f5. This is what I think is best so far, which of course has the same PV as previous one since I did not change my mind)

Ah, thanks. Now I understand

Now that I read my post I think that I blew the 8 out of proportion

Miguel, I like your 8. I just wish that pretty girls liked my 6!
