No, not at all. If you search N/2 nodes but do it in N+1 time then it is not as good. My mark for deciding if a new version is better is always solution time. I use a set of 90 positions from different phases of the game, searched for one minute. If the solution is not found, the time for the greatest depth both reached is used. -- GCP
