I found this at the Rebel Tiger message board about contempt factor and engine priority: [begin quote] The "contempt factor" name is not very accurate. This box should be named "score for a draw". And so it is the opposite of the classical "contempt factor". You enter in this box the score you want Tiger to use for a draw (either 50 moves rule or draw by repetition), in HUNDRETH of pawns. Reasonnable values range from -20 to 0. A value of -15 (which I would advice you to use) will tell Tiger to avoid such draws, if by doing so it does not go into a position it evaluates worse than -0.15 for him. Engine priority tells the program to use more priority for the engine than for the graphical interface. It can only help at very fast time controls. If you use it, you will notice that the screen is refreshed much slower (best lines, and so on...). I would generally advice you to use the normal priority.
