I hate these time-consuming suites, but I tolerate this one since a lot of the problems are fairly hard, so improving speed or messing with the search can make a difference. Sometimes "overtime" kicks in, so rather than 611 solved in < 20.000 seconds, this version really got 601. I generally report this number, but in this case the 611 creeped in because I wasn't trying to report a count of solved positions, I was trying to report something else, it didn't occur to me that I was giving a false count until after I saw Amir's post and responded to it. This version (375) has a huge bug in it, which causes some tactical positions to take less time, and some to take more time, than they should have. This may have hurt or helped the score, I don't know. I don't tune for individual ECM problems, but I do run it from time to time to see if tactical zip is being maintained after I add some positional stuff, or see if there is a noticeable improvement or degradation after I mess with the search. bruce
