My Test and Test 2 were the final settings I ended up with. My story is similar to Michael Cummings in that the settings are never convincing enough to win and win. They just win, win you think great then they lose bad. My own fav settings were slaughtered in my own tourney, though I have run many others where it has won by a similar margin to that which it lost with. I don't believe it will ever be possible to convincingly prove which settings are best, some will win v prog a and lose to b others lose to a and beat b. Without thousands of tourney control games and never versions being released every year there is not enough time to test. I note in passing that Rebel did not convince themselves that anyone found better game playing settings in the Century testing. Other programs also have similar features, shredder and MCP, I have even tried to make similar settings there: If it works on CM maybe shredder or MCP but nothing ever works as you would like and there isn't enough time to run hundreds of tourney games. Here are three you are welcome to try. I have tournament wins by all three against all other settings at around 60 game. Naturally they also lose to the other settings. If you want any help running some games let me know, especially if you test at 1 hour/game or longer controls. Thanks.
