First of all, supremo is 2-ply in gnubg. Confusion may arise since gnubg's 2-ply is Snowie's 3-ply ... Best setting is probably 7-ply with move filter huge and no pruning nets, but this would take close to forever for a single game. I don't think anybody in the world has ever gone beyond 3-ply (Snowie's 4-ply). And for rollouts, 2-ply seems to be more than enough (0-ply is ultra-fast and in some situations, give accurate results). My personal advice, use supremo for both chequer and cube play/analysis. [Pruning nets : that's something added a while ago to speed-up evaluation Should be almost twice as fast playing at almost the same level. It's an option(I think it's ON by default) in the panel where you chose the level, like expert world class, supremo etc] >Also, are the default thresholds for what is >doubtful, bad, and very bad good? I know that some people at Zone insist >that these must be altered as well. Thresholds can be altered, but I think more or less anybody uses the default ones. However, this isn't very important: the thing that matters is the equity loss ... -0.050 is -0.050, up to you to consider it as good, doubtful, bad or very bad. >Is there a good sticky document on GNUBG to address setting the program to >do the most exhasustive analysis?

No problem, but post to the mailing list ([email protected]) to reach the maximum number of people that may be interested/have something to say.
