Run T-0201 rejected

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

Hypothesis

Calling move-preference learning once with a history bonus of one upon transitioning directly into the quiescence search after an uninterrupted, non-mate fail-low increases playing strength. Recursive quiescence search, evaluation learning, main search learning, and all guards for preference learning remain unchanged.

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.
