You can make it play VERY active! See redshift running on ICC for an example -
playing to a rating of about 2450 on a K6-450, very happy to make sacs in the
opening and middle game. Other engines slaughter it because they defend
precisely, but against humans it is different: e.g. against one IM (Chito Garma,
FIDE 2415) who has played it at 3 0 blitz on this setting it has scored +61 =3
-46. The very fact that he has played it 110 times suggests that there must be a
fun element!
