Answer K.U.
It was a combination of trial and systematic search. The CM8_Rubidio settings
made to me a good impression, the games played confirmed that but I was still
not satisfied with the results of some practical test positions. So I eventually
tried to improve all the program's parameters that in my opinion should have a
positive influence to a better mobility. That was all and suddenly the program
played very well.
