The thing is, this really shouldn't make much of a difference, since it's already checking for time-out every time it yields... I suggest TCEC uses sunfish classic (I emailed Aloril) for now, and I'll figure out what regression I introduced to the nnue since I actually tested it properly :(
But it doesn't yield frequently at larger depths, in my testing it took around 55 seconds after the time cut to yield a move.
I'm just saying, in this patch, you're only doing one time check for each yield. And since there's already a time check for each yield, I'm worried that this won't fix things...
These are my current test runs for classic and nnue. Nnue has a pretty bad score due to connection-stalls and timeouts. I haven't tested your patch though, but this is why I suggested just using classic for now.
I modified my PR slightly to return what might be the most recent search information. I respect whatever decision you make for the competition. You do have some hours to test things out now though.
Well, that returns a score MATE_UPPER.. I don't know. But I guess this is my best effort, sorry
I modified the PR again to bypass the MATE_UPPER score.

There seems to be a significant issue with NNUE, look at the these evals:

These look like normal upper/lower bound values from MTD search to me. But I do agree that the problem may be related to an NNUE issue. Maybe evals gone rye could make the over ordering weird leading to very long QS searches...
this is a probably flawed way to respect your think time by not shooting past it in a deep search
