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

Hypothesis

The engine is expected to play stronger than main. The candidate combines an adapted network width read from the header (256 neurons, one bucket), an N256 network trained on the production recipe with 395 million training lines over 18 epochs, and targeted speed optimizations using O3 pragmas and target_clones for x86-64-v3 on ELF targets in network evaluation, negamax, quiescence search, and bitboard move generation.

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.
