Go up one level in this thread


I use 60 seconds/position for most test suites, but, like Crafty, allow "early
exit" if the target move has been found and has held steady for a certain number
of plies (usually 5).

This makes running test suites time-consuming. Usually I start them in the
evening and let a bunch of them run overnight.

Lots of people use shorter time limits, especially for easier test suites like
WAC. WAC can be run with 5 or 10 seconds per position and still give useful
results.

Arasan's test results can be found at http://www.arasanchess.org/tests.html.
