Here are a couple - run the FPGA at a reduced clock rate, run with a simplified evaluation,... It would be interesting to see how it fares against Nimzo too. If it doesn't fare well against Nimzo, then what does that mean? >On 3 minute searches it's getting 11-12 ply. At 3M+ NPS (which was the last >report I got) I would expect more. The branching factor in the hardware part of the search may be quite high.

I just hope that one thing comes out of this - cheaper FPGA boards
