Excellent! :D This clearly shows what one can expect from eval tuning. This is good news even for dumb beancounters like cheng (only 60 eval terms, not counting psq).
I wonder if it'll scale at longer TC, but from what Peter wrote it might be the case.
Thanks

Martin, you put the PSQ values ,
before tuning_eval.
Or the tuning_eval gave
these parameters PSQ.

At longer TC it seems to score very good as well:

In my tests, both Stockfish and Komodo slap it silly !

An update by someone that all of us like and whom we thought had decided to leave this hobby? Yeah, what is there to be excited about?!

There is more to this hobby than the small part that interests you.

It looked like a joke to me.

Apparently :roll: .
Anyway, you are welcome to the 'large' parts ; I hardly have time for the 'small' part that does !
