​

MTCS-UCT search can be utilized via the check box in place of the classic alpha-beta search.

If the MTCS checkbox is left unchecked, alpha-beta search is used.

​

MTCS-UCT can be utilized in conjunction with either the NNUE evaluation or the the standard HCE (hand-crafted evaluation), which Fire refers to as 'Classic' in it's UCI drop down menu.

​

Note MCTS w/ NNUE is much stronger than than MCTS w/HCE...

just as Alpha-Beta w/NNUE is much stronger than than Alpha-Beta w/HCE...
