This time the "slightly positional" setting managed to outperform the default
"very positional" settings for the second time, though admittedly not by much.
If anything, it seems likely that "slightly positional" is not weaker than the
default setting. As to whether or not it is stronger, and by how much if so, I
fear many more games would be required, especially if the difference is small.
I'm not against running another gauntlet to test further, I am just trying to
find an opponent that hasn't been tested to death, and that wouldn't lose by
some absurd score. Games are in a separate post.
