Hi setting professionals!
A while ago there was a thread about very few amatures have the possibility to
change the settings of the program, I certainly think that there can be a lot to
gain for amatures with this possibility. I seriously doubt that there are many
people taking interest in doing this for many of the weak engines out there
(like Sharper).
I might be wrong so I give anyone the chance to have a say about Sharpers
evaluation settings, currently it's not possible to set them using a config
file, but if anyone would like to try a setting I'll compile a couple of exe
files to give him something to play with.
Even if you don't want to develop your own Sharper setting, you might notice
something wicked in the current setting just by looking at it, and if you do
just let me know (or tweak your program to exploit it when playing Sharper =))
/Regards Albert
