Yes, I read Ed's answer to Albert about that but unfortunately I forgot to save
it. Forgot which switch it was, there probably are more. Things like [Pruning =
MISC_01] * TREE: if (reduce & rd=0) goto tr76 I still have in my settings, I
stole them from your Macheide settings, but by now they probably mean something
like "if (reduce your moron settings here some more & rd=0) go back to Start and
do not collect 76 rating points" By now Ed's post is somewhere in the archives,
of which I could not get the downloading to work.

Albert's results are hopeful though.

I can believe that making a small change, mobility from 110 to 120 for instance,
can sometimes change a lot in the behaviour of an engine. The problem is however
with such precarious balances, as you may think they are, it makes it dangerous
to change anything further. Any change can totally destroy the balance again and
make you think the change is bad, when actually it could be postive within
another balanced set.
