Dear Aloisio,

Thanks for the helpful reply.

What is your experience with the "triple brain" feature, Aloisio? Does it indeed
make the resulting moves stronger? I imagine that it must divide the total
allocated RAM by 1/3 each, so that means that there won't be many hashtables
available for long searches. Does that then mean it's only effective for faster
time controls?

Thanks in advance for your input.

All the best,
Stephen
