Nice move from Movei 309 John! Do I understand correctly that Chess master is
pondering on the same machine, when Movei has to make a move? Is that for
testing purposes?

Sorry that I'm coming back -inevitably- to my Pro Deo testing again; for the
fans of tweaking Pro Deo: this position seems to be a case where it is better
not to have the [Adjusted Selectivity] switch in your own favorite settings.

In Pro Deo 1.1 Betazoid T8 there is

[Adjusted Selectivity MIDG = 4] * Maximum selective depth (midgame)
[Adjusted Selectivity END0 = 4] * Maximum selective depth (early endgame)
[Adjusted Selectivity END1 = 4] * Maximum selective depth (endgame)
[Adjusted Selectivity END2 = 3] * Maximum selective depth (simple endgame)


This may actually override some other settings besides [Selective Search = 80]
that I arbitrarily put in Betazoid T8.

I made a slightly different version from Pro Deo 1.1 Betazoid T8, called
Betazoid T90 which has default [Selective Search = 100] and none of the
[Adjusted Selectivity] settings, and that is much faster in finding the
drawscore!

It probably plays a bit different positionally though.

The choice of move for Betazoid at least may also be influenced by the amount of
hashtables it seems! At least in one position I just tested there were different
search decisions in Betazoid T8 with 40 Mb hashtables compared to 28 Mb
hashtables? But that has to be something for further testing, I only tested that
in one particular difficult position.


Betazoid T8 needs more than 2 minutes to find 39.Nf5+, Pro Deo 1.1 default is a
lot faster, even on a slow Celeron 500 MHz it needs just 6 seconds! Ad hoc
settings Betazoid T90 are even one ply faster and get a zero drawscore sooner as
well.
