Hi Richard

In the baron.ini file is this entry for the sacrifices parameter:

# Bonus for sacrifices (score 0-8, default 2) A low setting will
# result in less sacrifices of minor pieces
sacrifices 3

I'm confused about the value of this setting. Default is 2, yet the .ini file as
downloaded is set at 3. Do you recommend leaving this value at 3? If so,
shouldn't 3 be the default?

Thanks
Dave
