I test chess engines with fixed nodes and I am looking for deterministic engines.
Clover with fixed nodes seems to be a deterministic because it repeated the same game but in my tournament with banksia gui it seems to play 1.d4 instead of 1.e4 and I wonder if it is the fault of the engine or the fault of banksia.
setting was 131072 nodes per move and 1 mbyte hash no tablebases.
usual output in these conditions for first move of white
1. e4 {+0.05/14}
{
109630 299/591/110 is the usual output in many games
In one game I found a different output and I am not sure if to blame the engine or the interface.
