Hi Graham
Please compare moves/evaluation in CM-GUI and Fritz-GUI
of a specific setting: they are not identical if the
paramaters are defined under [EXTRAS] and that's the
thing I do not like. If this does not bother you, you
may nevertheless have fun with CM-Settings. Personally,
I always want to know what I am testing and this is
not guaranteed the way you have implemented The King
under Fritz-GUI. Only the methods with textfiles or the
the method with settings (parameters) defined in the
InitString are therefore recommanded by me. We (Manfred
Meiler and myself) have tried to find out why this is
so with Odd Gunnar Malin some years ago, but did not
found out the reason of the not identical behaviour
of the engine.
Kind regards
Kurt
