Kurt,

I have played more (about 50 of them) and have concluded that against a human,
these settings are tough.  Against top notch computers they are not that good.

I use these settings for my own analysis of positions where sacrifices are made
by GMs or the seem "in the air".  Even in quiet positions it sometimes finds
interesting ideas that I would not have thought of (or that other "more safe"
computers might pass over also).

Summary:  it's fun and strong, but not "strongest" by any means.  CM9 SKR is
definitely a better bet overall.
