Hi Dom, I'm afraid that will not work because Ed has not implemented it yet. Ed
writes on http://members.home.nl/matador/prodeo.htm :
* Under ChessBase and perhaps other Interfaces such as Arena, ChessMaster,
Winboard a time-control problem may or may not occur. Using the tournament time
control make sure that time-control-1 is equal to time-control-2 and that you
zero time-control-3. So: 40/2hr+40/2hr or 40/20+40/20. Doing otherwise it may
happen PRO DEO will start moving instantly after move 41 for the rest of the
game
So that is what you saw, Pro Deo moving instantly. Don't fill in third time
control!
Best, Eelco
P.S.
These are my latest Pro Deo 1.1 Vulcan {9k4} settings, made yesterday... Have
not yet tried any of your Master possibilities, figured I could always do that
later.. But thanks for the tips! Have not checked my e-mail yet, is on another
computer.
I think these settings are a bit crazy, I'm trying to avoid uneven numbers for
remaing depths and checks depth here and there and everywhere in the settings,
in the hope of getting better PVs.
[QS Margin = 10.00] * effect unclear
Probably does not work, not documented!
[Pawn Pressure midg = 160] * weight pawn pressure middlegame
A little bit less now, but not totally scrapped. :)
[Extensions (remaining)= 6]
Rather extreme recapture settings...
[Adjusted Selectivity MIDG = 6] * Maximum selective depth (midgame)
Also changed from 4. Well it sure is faster, but question is, is it better?
[EVALUATION = NORMAL]
Another change that I'm not sure about..
