Any comments on the results of your testing of this?

I find that the STRONG is already out of proportion and use the NORMAL setting.

Yes! Please! :-)
Could one pester you about three parameters all the same? (any answer would be
most welcome)
Is the Strong Squares only for knight outposts, or does it encourage advanced
outposts for pieces such as the bishop or rook as well?
How does the Pawn Pressure parameter affect the game? Does it pawn advances or
is it something else altogether?
What is the difference between [Pawn Formation] and [Pawn Structure]?
Many thanks!
