Run T-0210 rejected

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

Hypothesis

Disabling correction history updates at the end of the search when the best score equals DrawScore, prior to the final draw clamp, is expected to increase playing strength. Window gating, all other update guards, update formulas, correction keys, returns, transposition table storage, and other correction channels 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.
