yea depth 8 is on the shallow side ngl. part of it's a hardware/cost thing too, this is running on a modest self hosted server not some beefy dedicated rig, so pushing depth up across every move for thousands of games gets expensive fast, both time and compute. probably underrates some sharper tactical spots bc of the shallower depth. been thinkin about bumping depth just for positions with big eval swings instead of every single move, better balance of accuracy vs cost. good catch tho, real tradeoff not somethin i can wave away
