It is known that you never can trust the move in the end of the pv and the time control is not important but things are different for first moves of the pv. I'm fairly sure that, in most middlegame >scenarios, engines get weaker the longer you leave them. It's a different >matter in the endgame! You are sure about wrong things. Engines get stronger in middle game positions if you give them more time unless the engine has bugs. looking at the full pv is irrelvant because I talk only about the first move of the pv. I often give the engine to analyze again for hours after the first 2 or 3 moves of the pv. Uri
