I recall seeing the WP setting listed somewhere in a past post, but am unable to find it. Would either of you gentlemen please post the WP settings for Chessmaster series? To your knowledge, have Chessmaster's settings ever been discussed with de Koning? I find it difficlt to believe he has *never* heard of these more optimal settings. I am speculating here, but I am wondering if the goal, in the default settings, are deliberate to add flexibility to the program for the end user. From the position as an end user, I have found it most rewarding to achieve a more optimal setting by tweaking these ajustments. It is like a chess engine construction set for the non-programmers :-). If the Chessmaster personality were the utimate settings, what challenge could you aim for to personalize it. Also, I think Mindscape has a very broad market, in mind, with the Chessmaster series. Best Regards, Les W.
