By watching it on autoplay, it is easy to see the effect of this change in
the king safety term, for the better.

The "Attack/Defend" setting is misnamed: it actually sets its willingness
to exchange pieces, with positive settings avoiding exchanges. Based on its
play against ME, I think this should be set more positive than -4, to make
it harder to survive the middlegame.

Also, I think the draw contempt factor should be greater than zero.
