Run T-0115 rejected

2026-09-22 · Evidence: SPRT Sequential probability ratio test. Games are played until the accumulated evidence reaches one of two bounds; then the test stops.

Hypothesis

A child node reduced by LMR searches one ply shallower if the static evaluation drops by more than 100 cp over the played move. This condition requires that the sum of the position-relative static evaluations of the parent and child exceeds 100, and that the child depth is at least 2.

Stages

Point estimate with the reported 95-percent half-width, per stage. The dashed line is zero. Estimates from a stopped sequential test are biased by the stopping rule; the interval is nominal.

Field	short stage
Verdict	rejected
Elo Strength difference to the opponent, estimated from the games, with a 95-percent half-width where the oracle reported one. Never an absolute rating.	−0.38 ± 5.40
nElo Normalised Elo: the Elo difference divided by the spread of the game results, so that the SPRT bounds mean the same at different time controls.	−0.60 ± 8.50

Wins / draws / losses	1,715 / 2,977 / 1,722
pentanomial Games are played in pairs with swapped colours; the five counts are the pairs scoring 0, ½, 1, 1½ and 2 points.	`126 / 783 / 1405 / 758 / 135`
LLR Log-likelihood ratio, the running evidence of an SPRT. It starts at 0; a stage passes at the upper bound and fails at the lower one.	−2.97
