What is the speed of your computer? Everything depends on it...
If you have a fast computer (200MHz or more), I would simply suggest at short
time controls (G/5 or faster):
1) do NOT give it too much hash tables. 4 Mb will be enough. If you give more
than that, the time spent in clearing or updating the hash tables at each move
will weaken the program
2) close all unnecessary windows (for example the book window) and toolbars.
3) do not move the mouse when the program is thinking. On some computers, this
slows down the program tremendously.
You can give the program more hash tables when you play at G/15 or slower.
Then go to the Rebel Home Page (www.rebel.nl) and look for the new, more
effective, engine settings (NSEW=1 and MoreSel=1).
Also it seems that changing the "contempt factor" can help Tiger a little bit.
In the engine properties page, set the "score for a draw" to the value "-10"
(that means a tenth of a pawn).
Last thing: make sure that the "analysis brain" is OFF when you play a game.
