Not to much differnt from the default, I just add nul_low 4, and nval 1. I also do: resign with the threshold -9 for 5 moves. My opinion on null_low 4 is that its better at faster time controls, weaker at slower. But its still seems to be doing ok on the ICC regardless. Wonder what would happen if i tried null_low 5 ;). I use nval 1 because Yace was pitching 2 minors for a r and p way to much. I don't see that as much anymore and as a result, Yace plays much stronger. I built a book out of 510,000 games. Its only 110 megs in size ;). I did a test run with null_low 4 vs 10 other engines, the resulting rating for null_low 4 landed up being 40 points higher then the default. Of course, I figure it needs more testing to be sure, but as I said, I suspect that null_low 4 is good for quick time controls. JW
