I have tried this setting on H9 at the Playchess.com server. "My" rating has
increased by approx. 50 point by that during 40 games. And this is only blitz. I
know that this is not scientific, however it should be a point/trend for the
programmer to investigate further. Now aggressive and hypermodern is my new
standard :-)
