But it turns out you don’t have to tune it specifically for anything. Adding knowledge has made it stronger against humans and computers. That’s the good news, the pleasant surprise" http://www.chesscafe.com/text/mig26.pdf My thoughts about this: The primary comparison should be against the predecessor. Not head to head, but by comparing the results of both versions against the same strong competitors like Shredder 9, but also Fruit 2.1 and other engines. Yours truly Paul J. Sacral
