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

Hypothesis

Combining pawn-history value learning, delaying root-suffix sorting until exceeding the initial search depth, reducing non-cutoff deep TT Transposition table: a cache of already searched positions, keyed by a hash of the position. entries by one ply, penalizing failed quiet killers and countermoves even on tactical best moves, exempting quiet king evasions in check at cut-nodes from history pruning, and capping LMR for later quiet siblings after a refuted full re-search yields at least neutral overall strength against the baseline, with potential superadditive gains.

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.
