My question is, have you tried setting the contemp factor to >a high setting, for it to avoid being drawish( e.g. play more aggressive)? No, i run it with the default settings. It may be that the aggressive settings are better against human players, i don't know I haven't tested it. I assumed possibly incorrectly that the default settings are best, but they may just be best against computers? I still would have a very hard time agreeing that Genius is any better than I.M. strength, especially considering it's 10th place on the SSDF. At blitz Genius is a GM(well that's the party line, many say it's the best at blitz of all progs). I have gotten many draws against it at 5 minutes, but that could just have something to do with my blitz style.
