Hi Ray
How small the differences are can even be better seen
if you also compare the scores of the individual engines:
51.42 % or 144.0/280 - Slayer
50.53 % or 141.5/280 - Assassin
49.64 % or 139.0/280 - R1
49.64 % or 139.0/280 - Slayer 2b
48.75 % or 136.5/280 - T05
48.57 % or 136.0/280 - Judge II
48.21 % or 135.0/280 - Minotaur 2
46.42 % or 130.0/280 - Alliance
It's just crazy: so much work but we are still be unable
to say for sure which is the best setting. Anyway many
thanks for this test. Would you please be kind enough
to send me the games as PGN.
Kind regards
