5) Of course the biggest problem of all is the sometimes poor results of the
pruning net in rollouts combined with the inability to use the old
evaluations at reduced speed.  2-ply rollouts performed at 50% checker and
33% cube speed have proven quite accurate and considerably faster than 2-ply
100%.  2-ply prune rollouts, while faster per number of trials, are not
proving as accurate, and have very high standard error rates, making them
possibly unusable.

Can you provide a convincing proof of that? Of course you are free to use whatever setting you like, but the reduced evaluations are worse in every test I did. For example it has about 10 times the error rate when tested over the contact benchmark. (I just did several thousand positions. will do the full test when I get more computing power).

Of course those are done using my reduced code (only 33% for moves), and GNUbg might be different implementation, I have not looked at this for a long time.

But I simply can't believe large differences. And you want to compare full 2ply with pruning and full2 ply vs. reduced, not against one another.
