For analysis so that the eval doesn't flip-flop as a move is made on the
real board.  And, for the record, analyze mode produces the _same_ speedups
as does the normal mode.  The times might be different since the eval is
different.  The depths might even be different, but the speedups are the
_same_.  And this is easy for anyone to verify.



>why not always turn it off or on?



Because I like the way it plays in normal mode.  But I prefer to avoid the
questions "why is suddenly black almost a pawn ahead when before white's
move white was ahead?"

No idea what that means...

I don't care _what_ is "impossible for you to believe", personally.  I
ran the tests.  Eugene ran the test.  Others have run the test.  The numbers
come us similar for everyone.

Based on what?  Your "proof".

As I thought...

Someone is mistaken.  I know who I put _my_ money on.
