Run T-0163 rejected

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

Hypothesis

If the margin reductions for rising evaluations and weaker opponents in reverse futility pruning are only applied when none of the engine's knights or bishops are attacked by an enemy pawn, no rook by a pawn or minor piece, and no queen by a pawn, minor piece, or rook, while the full margin pruning as well as both signals in LMP and LMR remain unchanged, the engine plays stronger.

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.
