Nochetodbeval tutorial
Use the nochetodbeval executable to evaluate unevaluated positions in the nocheto database.
Every position is evaluated by engine set in the config file
at its strongest level, thinking no longer than goseconds seconds. That means, if you need to
evaluate 183 positions and you let them evaluate for 1 seconds, it will evaluate for 3 minutes and 3 seconds max
(some positions, like mate in 1 can be evaluated quicker than the given time).
On the picture above, the last line shows that there are 149 unevaluated positions left.
Because goseconds was set to 6 (seconds), it expects the time to finish to be 14 minutes and 54 seconds.
If you want to close nochetodbeval sooner, you can use CTR+C to kill it. Nothing bad will happend.
You should not run any processor consuming application during evaluating chess position, as it can affects the depth engine can achieve during the given time and te evaluation will not be as precise.
It is recomended to use the same time for all your moves in your database. Choose wisely!
My recomendation is: Try the analyze command in nocheto to see how much „random“ results you get with a few seconds. Increase the seconds until the results are stable (show the same moves with a similar evaluation) and use that value + 1 second (I use 6 seconds on my AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor.)
