IMO there is something still wrong.
i think it has to do with the fact that H9+agg+hyp needs IMO a different kind of
search setting then the DEFAULT.

but i tried with the Default setting of H9 and this is IMO no good combination.

When the program plays this aggressive, and "strange" it needs a different kind
of search. In the moment i don't know if the "intelligent search" works
for this new styling, or if the selective setting is too high, or if COMBINATION
ON would help.

All i see is that the promising different playing style needs IMO another small
change to be a progress OVERALL !

  I am still conducting the tests -- but I have already noted some

because there is a parameter wrong.

yes. but the style is not FINISHED. it is just an in between effort.

what a pity that there are so few switches to try out.
i hope the "right one" is there.
