I learnt the other day that ignore_clock only ignores the game time settings, but there is still a default 10 seconds per move. To get rid of that add: go_param timelimit 999999 You also need to set max_nodes quite high or Fuego will keep stopping to clear out its tree. I'm setting it to max_games*50, so for 8000: uct_param_search max_nodes 400000 According to my notes fuego uses 75M + (65M per million max_nodes). So 15 million nodes will use about 1Gb.

Can you compare the total CPU time spent on a game by each of Fuego and Many Faces and if Fuego is using less then increase max_games accordingly? Or, given that you just want a strong opponent for regression testing, forget cpu time and simply keep doubling max_games until you reach 50% :-) To answer your question I also have these in my config, which I got from [1]. uct_param_search lock_free 1 uct_param_search virtual_loss 1 The first makes it stronger when using multiple threads. I'm not sure what the second is doing...
