I've experimented a little bit with the Selectivity and Style settings in Shredder 8 using the native CB GUI: http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?350453 http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?350676 For some reason I get the idea that Selectivity=-3 is an improvement when analyzing in infinite analysis mode for a long time, but I don't have any proof. In theory it should avoid missing any moves because of Zugzwang, I suppose, but there is a dearth of information from the author/publisher in that regard. So I'm just guessing, and hoping. I might try Selectivity=0 if I were playing blitz chess, but I never play blitz. I haven't tried the +values for Selectivity. I doubt that any of the alternate style settings has any value, and will probably always use "intelligent" for any purpose. WP
