Sorry, I just realized I cannot do 110k playouts because my
implementation is too slow.
I suggest you run a 'pachi-0.25-light-50k' that just uses
50000 playouts. That way you can compare it to 'myCtest-V-0003'.

BTW: I count the new-node threshold like Don from the parent
      node, so 50 not far from your '2'.
