I do not imply anything.
Simply because I cannot prove anything for version 20.3,
because I do not have it.
IMHO we cannot discuss a program wich only one (or two) persons have.

It's my observation that tweaking for a single position or a special
type of positions may not make the program play better.
Increasing extensions sometimes help.
Decreasing extensions sometimes help.
Same with nullmove.

It would be better to be quiet, or release version 20.3
