Hi Ross,
the settings of Minotaur 2 were perhaps a little extreme whereas the original
Minotaur settings were more moderate. In hindsight I actually prefer Minotaur as
the knight and bishop have equal value. My experiment with giving the bishop a
slightly higher value in Minotaur 2 was not as successful as I'd have liked.
Watch out for Apex - it could well threaten!

Graham.
