In general, the faster the computer, the higher the number can be set. Also, the
SLOWER the time control, the higher the number can be set.

Usually, the sel=12 personalities are used with fast computers on slow(er) time
controls (at least 60 seconds per move). At blitz or bullet time controls, the
default personality (sel=9) tends to beat the sel=12 personalities.
