James how about these corrections. after you pointed out that mess, i see what you mean. maybe this is correct, not sure though if this is what chessbase meant. Setting a positive contempt value will cause the program to avoid draws, while a negative value will make it go for a draw even if it thinks it is better. This essentially shows respect for the opponent. The value is in hundredths of a pawn, so setting 50 means that the program will play for a win, even if it thinks its half a pawn down (which can easily be the case in certain openings). If the program is playing against a top grandmaster it is usually better to set minus 50, so it will take a draw if the opportunity arises. no James I dont work for chessbase, i work for a paper manufacturing company. James do you work for microsoft? kburcham
