If you read all my posts you would have seen that I was too sceptical too, but the results in my computers show otherwise. Now I do not know if this is due to the level I chose or not, but other people making a lot of games had similar results as I. >Maybe I will be wrong, maybe not. >In my testing these personalities are generally inferior to the default. Yes, if you test only against Shredder this may be the case, but not if you include other programs as well. >Finally, I am not trying to attack the obvious hard work you are putting into >these new setting, in fact I think its great. Well, I am only trying to make available one or more settings with a different playing style and possible stronger. >I would like to see what Stephan >thinks the potential is of tuning the engine. Of course you will see it as Shredder 10 will become available I think about one year later than Shredder 9. I believe he will be able to take advantage of the findings of these settings to make a big jump ahead in strenght. This is something is possible only working on the program and knowing him and his experience I have no doubts on this, but meanwhile why not to try to see if more can be taken from Shredder 9? >As with shredder, unlike >Chessmaster I would suspect the beta testers and Stephan would have found a >stronger tuned engine setting other than the default, that is if it was >possible. It is possible to me, but not easy. Cheers Sandro
