MAT: MAT: This may look strange, but the point of using continuous, smoothed, MAT: and flexible methods is that this should not be *too much different* MAT: from if it had "delta = +0.01"! But the "MATCH" verdict /is/ important! TOPALOV 1111111 FULL MATCH (22.Be6+), Fritz 9 delta = 0.03 MAT: Full match, but the surprising 22.f4! made up a lot of ground! MAT: It pulled within 0.03 at 17/17, from well back. TOPALOV 0000000 NON-MATCH (23.b3), Fritz 9 delta2 < -2.27 TOPALOV 1111000 PART MATCH (24.Rhg1), Fritz 9 delta = +0.04 MAT: This one, on the other hand, is more of a head-scratcher, MAT: since it matches at 11-14 ply and again after th 16-ply round MAT: in multi-line mode, but not in single-line mode even at 17 ply(?) TOPALOV 1111111 FULL MATCH (25.Bf5), Fritz 9 delta = 0.40 TOPALOV 1111111 FULL MATCH (26.Bxc5), Fritz 9 delta = 1.98 TOPALOV 1111111 FULL MATCH (27.Qh6), Fritz 9 delta = 3.07 TOPALOV 1111111 FULL MATCH (28.Qxh7), Fritz 9 delta = 3.01 MAT: My conclusion from this and other similar cases is that the MAT: single-line PV hash evals are labeled MAT: with /authoritative/ depth MAT: info while in the single-line mode. Then in the multi-line mode, they MAT: persist when other evaluations for that position try to replace them. MAT: Whereas, if only multi-line mode were done, more replacements would MAT: succeed. I will wait to see if a change happens after 18/18 his time. MAT: (None did; for 19/19 29.Nd3 went up 0.08.) But for now: TOPALOV 1111101 MATCH (29.Nd3), Fritz 9 delta = 0.41 TOPALOV 1111111 FULL MATCH (30.cxb3, forced!), Fritz 9 delta = 6.97 MAT: Well, this move 31 definitely has to be re-run with the older methodology, MAT: for comparison, where I do 10-line mode throughout, and in MAT: single-line mode throughout.
