I really don't have any suggestions.  just don't get carried away, particularly
with negative numbers.  IE you can set (say) ppscale to a _negative_ number and
make passed pawns bad things, not good things.

Yes I am interested. More interested in "weaker" versions.  Which probably
means you need to tweak the eval weights _and_ the search extension depths
as well...
