Note that I said you should be taking convergence acceletrators into account. Every competetive implementation of MTD(n,f) has them and the papers suggest them so that is a valid requirement. If you increase the window forecefull from 100 to 200 when you are using millipawns it's the exact same thing as increasing it from 10 to 20 when you are using centipawns. If you rely purely on the fail-soft and do not adjust the bounds with the accelerators, I think you are right, but I really would like to see evidence of it. When forcing the bounds it's just the same thing however, and that is what every good MTD(n,f) implementation is doing. You are basically saying that the difference between 0.1 and 0.2 is different from that between 0.1 and 0.2. No it's not :) -- GCP
