I think that albert mainly tries to change PD with using all the nice search switches ed gives. i have made the experience that the strength of PD is not the search, it is its weakness and i think that PD plays lousy with all those search switches ON. it makes blunder moves, giving away a good game for nothing. it might be that the switches are succesful in test-suites, finding key-moves faster then another style. but they fail in tournament games. there NO key move is to find, and it is not important if you find a move in 10 or 8 seconds. what i do is mainly changing the evaluation and trying to get/make PD as brute-force as possible. then suddenly it works. i do not test against amateurs. mainly against s8, f8 and j8 and h9. From all those programs s8 is the fear-opponent of PD. but it is possible to get a good style against s8. i doubt that the default or alberts style works against s8.
