Go up one level in this thread


I still have your VulcanQ1e settings here :) So vulcan can play chess then and
not analyse only. Its much easier to set tactical settings in Pro Deo then CMX.
40moves in hour. I like setting my time control after 40moves so it doesnt
effect the middlegame! 80moves in 2hrs ;)
