You obviously have no idea what you are talking about, when you talk The King settings. - It*is* true what you say though, for most engines. But *not* for The King, at least certainly not since CM8000, the previous version (King 3.12). What puzzles me is: Didn't you read all the CCC threads (and there were *many* of them), which have discussed, explained, and virtualy proven this (with lots of results)? Don't you know any of the tournaments and ratings lists, which show how strong several custom personalities are, compared to the default? For example: http://www.grailmaster.com/misc/chess/comp/cm.html best-ranking CM9000 setting rated 2725, CM9000 default personality rated 2612, rank #56 Actually it would be *very unfair* to test King with default settings against other top programs, because it would limit it way below it's potential, on fast comps (estim. 500 MHz...3 GHz) typically used nowadays among computerchess fans. Has it come so far, that something which I thought is *common knowledge* in CCC, must be explained and proven in every posting, and even long time regulars question well-known facts??
