Hello >The book is 88MB in size (When unzipped) and I want to know what are the best >settings. >Please? Are the default ones the best? >The defaults are: > >[] Book Learning & Result Learning disabled These two should be enabled for sure if you want to let the GUI and Engine learn something. >I always thought those were better enabled, but posts on other topic say thst to >test Learning off is best (Naked strenght). That depends on what you want to do. If you want to run it in a tourney it seems a bit unfair if engine one allready had a couple of thousand games with learning and a new entry had a zero chance to learn something. Another example are starting positions. If you start an engine match with just two engines where both can learn it is ok to switch it on. If you really want the strongest possibel Shredder, never switch it off, but do not change any setting in between. >[x] Move Values & Use statistics & Refutations enabled >Book Mode: (.) Standard >Is Tournament mode better?> If you run a tourney vs. other Computers I would set it to tourney, if you play vs. humans a wider book like "standard" or even "wide" might be better. Please play at least 500 long games vs. a human to be realy sure :-) But be aware, if you disable learning and you set it to Tourney or standard it might be that someone found a refutation vs. one specific line. In that case Shredder will lose and lose and lose and ... >Requirements: 2, 1, 43, 39, 999. >Those are very suspicious arbitrary numbers, are they the best? I dont think that they are "arbitrary". Have you had a look at the Shredder help. Everything is explained in there! RTM - did I miss a letter there? ;-) >Classic ------|-- Modern > >Is modern better than classic? Should I scroll i to the middle? Do you like the classic openings or do you like something more modern? It is up to you what you want to see. If YOU want to play you might want to play something else from time to time, right? >Move Value, Num. Games, Score, Learning: >Are they ok in the middle? Read the manual. What these values are doing is explained there! There is nothing like the "best" setting. It depends on different personal parameters what is the best setting for a certain task! Bye Ingo
