Well, because it seems interesting in some positions I have checked as was better to understand the outcome. I am trying to improve Columbus' egg and this may be one setting reaching that goal. Of course I am trying to do it keeping the high aggressivity of Columbus' egg... I am testing it now against Shredder Eccentric...but not too many games played so far so I'll not give the score yet... >The idea to increase the interest in Shredder is understandable, >and it deserves any interest, cause it is an excellent software, of course. Well, with Shredder one get also several alternative engines, but none play aggressive as I would like so I am giving the possibility to have such aggressive player for those who likes it...what's wrong with this? >From my own testing of settings I know, too, that many esp. small changes >dont change the overall strength too much, or to say it in an different way: >You have to work hard to hurt Shredder's outstanding strength ;-) Yes, but some times one may be surprised of what can be achived with different settings...this one and Columbus' egg are really nice to see as they seems more human like...I mean more Morphy like and not Capablanca like... > >But I really cannot see the point, why you publish this setting, and not >any other of several thousand possible settings with presumably still acceptable >performance. Well, if you consider also the playing style other then the overall strenght, maybe you can find the answer... > >Peter Sandro
