I figured as much. Just asking because I made this same mistake while restarting
a match at 4:00 AM between HIARCS 9 Beta and Shredder 7.04. :)

I had another question about the following conditions:

---
Playing conditions
Engine matches CB-GUI
4-men EGTB
no book learning
tournament book
100 games matches without optimized book settings
TK 3.23 SKR = drawbook
Tester: Rolf Bühler
Published: Kurt Utzinger
---

As far as the book settings, obviously tournament book is checked but both the
"influence of learning" and "learning strength" sliders are all the way to the
left (-)?  Where is the "variety of play" slider at the top?

Thank you and Rolf for all the hard work & testing.  It gives Mark and I a good
starting point to track progress from (especially against S7.04)
