Well, with all my experiments in the field I can now safetly (yes, it is a pun
;-) ) say that the best settings I've found are, for Gambit Tiger SelSafety=96
and MoreGambit=1. For ChessTiger SelSafety=96 (as the MoreGambit don't influence
ChessTiger). I say this because I've done many many games with the normal
settings, with SelSafety very low (for example setted to 3) and very high
(setted to 99). The results where more consistent with high selsafety, but too
much (99) lose too many points in tactics. I've done at last a thousand games
against all the top engines, and the results are at last a 15%-18% more positive
with these ones than normal settings (with Gambit Tiger still more).

Naturally there's still field to experiment, but at the moment I am almost quite
sure that SelSafety=96 is the best one.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Fabio.
