It is new crafty personality in Crafty SE mod, which Mike Byrne has done.
It generates random personalities for every new game if you wish so.
Below exerp from release notes.
* The new "Jekyll and Hyde" personality was changed to "Jekyll and Hyatt" to
honor, with a light touch of humor, the author of Crafty - Bob Hyatt. Also ,
the default “keeper” setting is now “off”, not “on”.
*The random settings selected by "Jekyll & Hyatt" personality ("krafty jekyll"
at the command prompt or crafty.rc file will now be captured at the beginning of
every log along with a “command string” for easy copying and pasting into the
crafty.rc file for further testing of new settings that look promising. The
command is “pers_load” and requires exactly 27 parameters. The argument order
is this:
keeper value (1 means to retain these settings)
queen value
rook value
bishop value
knight value
pawn value
book random (0=off)
book selection width
delay time limit,(0=off:1=on)
draw score setting
search depth
special edition code (1=off:0=on)
time usage setting (0=normal)
window beta initial setting
king safety asymmetry
king safety scale
king safety tropism
lazy setting (not activated)
pass pawn scale
pawn block scale
pawn scale
incheck extension setting
mate extension setting
one response extension setting
pawn push extension setting
recapture extension setting
start extension setting
The command string in the log file will be in the correct order. It is not
recommended that edit the string as there are no edit checks with this command
to check for valid inputs (since it was designed for just copy and paste by most
users). However the astute Crafty users may find this a useful tool to change
Crafty parameters with just one command.
* A new randomness factor for the "Jekyll & Hyatt" personality that will act a
turn dial to increase randomness of up to 50% of piece values. The initial
"Jekyll & Hyatt" personality was a randomness of plus or minus 10% of piece
values. The use can now increase this up to 50% in increments of 1%. If you do
not set it, need not to worry; you will get the standard +- 10%. For randomness
of +- 5%, use krafty Jekyll 5; +-20%, you would use "krafty jekyll 20"; +- 33%
"krafty jekyll 33" etc up to 50%.. Note : once a users increase randomeness to
above 30%, you may have situations where the queen is valued less than the rook
and it may play odd Queen sacrifices.
