CGIskak - Preferences
Here you can set the game strength. The engine iteratively searches the current position for the best move. Each iteration the search depth is extended by one ply until a stop criteria is met:
- The search depth exceeds
max_ply
- The number of positions searched exceeds
max_search
Below you can set the value of these two parameters.
max_search
is typically the more useful of the two - since it correlates better with time.
In both cases, however, a larger value means stronger game play (and longer response time).
