Hypermodern is not some style it makes engine play its bishop more in Fianchetto
way,so H10 with Hypermodern will try to bring bishop to longest diagonal and
this would not make big change in its game "always" because bishops get
exchanged and sometime hypermodern doesnot apply to position.So instead of
wasting time on analysing to bring bishop to long diagonal, Hypermodern is not
Selected by default in parameters.
