If the time is 10 seconds / game + 0.1s / move, I don't use this very fast time control for my tests, I use 2 mn +1s. The engine is a little more selective that v4.3 and it may do more tactical blunders.
If the time it's 10 minutes / game, I will work on an update...

" are seconds, yes. Thanks for the explanation.

Just started a tournament using 1:40+1 and the new KnightX seems a real improvement over 4.2 (I skipped 4.3).
