I honestly haven't a clue. I posted this because the result was in slower games,
and against an opponent in which the default settings had lost badly. I
certainly hand't tuned against List as it was only the second time I used it for
testing at slow games. Anyhow, more testing is definitely required.

Nope.

Search & Sleep is what I had in mind. I'm still on my first version as I can't
seem to keep my eyes open.... ;-)

There are a number of problems with these settings at first glance. The first
being the use of the new, and unfortunately worse, King_Safety function.

I have played with more knowledge but haven't seen enough benefit to justify the
significant slow-down.

I also get worse results when I put this too high. Combinations come quicker but
the playing overall has seemed dumber. It really took some time and
experimenting to really convince me of this, as I was too focused on test suite
results.
