YOU posted 30 games. i said that your results are strange and a RESULT of your methods (3 instead of 3+2). i played games on the server and i was not confident with some games. in hyp+agg hiarcs sometimes played too aggressive king attacks that made the counter attack possible. since hiarcs is not giving a slider to change the value of the king safety terms , i cannot compensate this behaviour. therefore i tried with a setting that is different. the idea is to get a feeling for the changes and to get a feeling what the switches do. by changing them you get this feeling. then you can change them because you suddenly feel which slider is doing what. i cannot compensate the agg switch therefore i have to try out with another setting. of course a hiarcs with more switches and sliders would be helpful to optimize it. this is only the beginning. the default setting of hiarcs is IMO not optimal. it seems many programs come on the market not completely optimal tuned. i guess this is a result of the speed, the programmers are forced to come on the market with something, but they have not enough time to finish the job.
