Is it enough to >add a whole play, say from 9 to 10? I run the usual 5 seconds test on a subset of WAC (posted below). Machine is a 700 MHz Athlon. Kiwi scores 10/13 with null move, and 6/13 without. Null move seems to give 1 or 2 extra plies. Here's a detailed report: 8/13 vs 7/13 9/14 vs 7/11 12/36 vs 13/38 (yes, got deeper without NM on this one) 8/11 vs 8/13 9/15 vs 7/17 8/13 vs 7/12 10/16 vs 8/12 12/19 vs 9/13 8/15 vs 8/15 12/18 vs 10/16 9/12 vs 8/16 8/17 vs 8/13 9/13 vs 8/13 2kr3r/pp1q1ppp/5n2/1Nb5/2Pp1B2/7Q/P4PPP/1R3RK1 w - - bm Nxa7+; id "WAC.071"; r4rk1/1p2ppbp/p2pbnp1/q7/3BPPP1/2N2B2/PPP4P/R2Q1RK1 b - - bm Bxg4; id "WAC.092"; 8/k1b5/P4p2/1Pp2p1p/K1P2P1P/8/3B4/8 w - - bm Be3 b6+; id "WAC.100"; 4r1k1/p1qr1p2/2pb1Bp1/1p5p/3P1n1R/1B3P2/PP3PK1/2Q4R w - - bm Qxf4; id "WAC.141"; 5rk1/2p4p/2p4r/3P4/4p1b1/1Q2NqPp/PP3P1K/R4R2 b - - bm Qg2+; id "WAC.163"; r1q2rk1/p3bppb/3p1n1p/2nPp3/1p2P1P1/6NP/PP2QPB1/R1BNK2R b KQ - bm Nxd5; id "WAC.180"; 1r2k1r1/5p2/b3p3/1p2b1B1/3p3P/3B4/PP2KP2/2R3R1 w - - bm Bf6; id "WAC.183"; r3k3/P5bp/2N1bp2/4p3/2p5/6NP/1PP2PP1/3R2K1 w q - bm Rd8+; id "WAC.221"; 2r1r2k/1q3ppp/p2Rp3/2p1P3/6QB/p3P3/bP3PPP/3R2K1 w - - bm Bf6; id "WAC.222"; 2b5/1r6/2kBp1p1/p2pP1P1/2pP4/1pP3K1/1R3P2/8 b - - bm Rb4; id "WAC.230"; 1r3r1k/3p4/1p1Nn1R1/4Pp1q/pP3P1p/P7/5Q1P/6RK w - - bm Qe2; id "WAC.243"; rn3k1r/pp2bBpp/2p2n2/q5N1/3P4/1P6/P1P3PP/R1BQ1RK1 w - - bm Qg4 Qh5; id "WAC.287"; 3r1rk1/p3qp1p/2bb2p1/2p5/3P4/1P6/PBQN1PPP/2R2RK1 b - - bm Bxg2 Bxh2+; id "WAC.297";
