Mr Larsson thank for your settings suggestions, but I prefer to set the Combination to OFF simply because the computers are getting faster Nowadays, but not as fast as to be able to set the Selectivity to 20 yet, instead I would rather lower it down to 14, unless your are playing games, in long time control , such as 40 moves in two hours using an AMD Athlon 1000 Mhz at least. The King Safety I prefer to lower down to 110 since a higher value will keep the king hiden for too long in the corner without taking part early on the endgame when it is needed. Now the passed pawns I would rather raise it to 110 and finally the Center Control up a little bit to 105. Those are my initial suggestions, but I will make proper adjustment according to my test result. Since I have not received the software yet, I wonder if Shredder allow you to set different Pieces Values beside 100 as you suggested? I like to set up the value of the bishop a little bit higher than the knight, and the queen value almost equivalent to two rooks. Pichard
