Hi guys,

Mission not yet accomplished with my latest Pro Deo settings..

A Pro Deo setting I made yesterday finds that 28.h3, 28.Bg4 and then 28.a4 are a
little better than 28.b4 in the first Deep Sjeng - Zappa position, but only
after almost ten minutes when 28.b4 is rejected for 28.h3

I don't think this setting is very optimal, also I just dicovered I accidently
deleted the whole line
[Pruning = MISC_16] * Increase Brute Force if extension(1)
several versions ago without noticing it.

In short I hurriedly went back again to an older Vulcan version and tried that
with several changes put in, also no more [Pruning = MISC_58] Passed Pawn tables
for the moment, no idea how this will work out but in this position it finds an
alternative for 27.b4 a little sooner. Maybe If Pro Deo could run on four
processors and also was one ply earlier this version could have found 27.Rc2 in
a WCCC-game. :)
