When the hardware is made up of several computers, the communications
overhead strongly reduces the utility of the combined computing power.
A good alternative might be to let each computer evaluate the position
at a different komi level.
Then you get a risk/reward profile for the current position.
As this is more about the risk/reward characteristics, and not so much
about the best move, it might also be a good idea to do this kind of
search instead of "pondering".

When we say "rich men don't pick fights," this isn't suggesting that
rich men ( people who are winning ) give away easy points. It means to
not engage in risky fights with uncertain outcomes; look for simpler
lines which are predictable and which still lead to a maximal win.
Static twiddle factors do not use information about risk versus
stability. Do current programs even know anything about risk versus
stability?
