Interesting you should say that; I've noticed, with the PalmOS version 15.0, that the 'gambit aggressive' and 'gambit suicidal' settings, against me, play some ... over-aggressive and over-suicidal moves, much more so than 14.9a. Whether this is good or bad is a matter of taste, but it certainly results in interesting games. 15.0 is quite markedly stronger than 14.9a (the '50 Elo points' suggested is conservative) so it puts up a tremendous fight after the blunder, but it shouldn't have got into trouble in the first place :) I'll try to sync a couple of examples across where 'gambit aggressive' made fairly obvious blunders of a piece.
