1-Ask him to get the bugs out of the analysis, so that more than the first ply
is reliable.
2-Ask him what's the best hash table sizes to use for different time controls,
including infinite analysis (when run for an hour or more).
3-Ask him to explain all of the user settings available with the engine, and the
exact effects of each.
4-Ask him what are the best user settings for the engine, and for the tablebase
cache, for use in infinite analysis mode (when run for an hour or more).
