While this is too few trials it is still an interesting comparison to me to Paul's 3ply/XGR/normal search space rollout. My rollout is for unlimited games whereas Paul's was AtS. (6a 6a) My equities are clearly going to end up being lower than Paul's. When trying to get a better grip on some of these positions we can't only up the move and cube ply, we really need to use a larger search interval. If you play some of these positions out against XG you will see that it all too often doesn't come up with the best play simply because it didn't make it through the move filter. I still can't imagine anything but anchoring up being technically correct. Even with these settings the bot will make questionable plays when playing it out.
