Following recent discussions re: using R=2 for null move vs. using R=2 near the tips, and R=3 nearer the root, I ran a little test. Here's the results of running Francesca R=2 vs Francesca R=2/3 (running for 12 hours, playing blitz, on my little Celeron 500 machine). Francesca R=2 : 48.2 % Francesca R=2/3 : 51.8 % 109 games were played. A small sample, but as I alluded to in earlier postings, R=2/3 might be *slightly* better for Francesca. Loads more games would be needed to verify this with any certainty, of course.. Rgds, Tom
