Hello Graham, you´re right, it´s really a good idea to make such special mate test with different settings - especially because they are certainly much easier and less time-consuming than finding out the best playing strength. IMO all those piece values won´t have much effect for mate solving, but good candidates might be ´avd´ and ´sel´ (and of course ´opks´ and ´opmob´). And one advantage is, that you can see the positive or negative effect of any setting very quick and easy: will the mate be found faster or not! Well, then I´ll give it a try and start such a test series - maybe I´ll find the UMS (Ultimative Mate Settings ;-)) Cheers, Franz.
